The River Raisin National Battlefield Park is the final resting place for many who paid the ultimate price to defend their Nations and people. The Battlefield is considered sacred soil by many. After required consultation with Federally Recognized Indian Tribes, the Battlefield has determined that activities such as "Ghost Hunting", "Paranormal Investigations", "Ghost Tours", or other similar activities that could disturb the spirits who may remain at the site or offend their living descendants are not appropriate activities and Special Use Permits will not be issued for these activities.
