Detroit Masonic Temple and local ghost-story humor

The Detroit Masonic Temple is the world's largest Masonic Temple and a well-known Gothic Revival landmark in Detroit's Cass Corridor. Its size, ornate interiors, and history have made it a frequent subject of ghost stories, paranormal investigations, and joking commentary in local tours and media; such accounts are folklore and debated rather than established fact. The building's prominence and reputation contribute to regular playful and speculative local chatter about hauntings and hidden history.
