Bone Heads Bar B Que

Bone Heads describes "our resident ghost or ghosts" on its own website. Customers have reported seeing a woman in a white dress descend the stairs, and one customer said she saw a young girl's face beside her own reflection in the women's restroom mirror. Staff say the hanging bar lamps swing with no one near them, that lights switch on well after closing, and that they hear whispering or footsteps with no one there.

AnnArbor.com's Tom Perkins wrote in October 2010 that investigators with the Ghost Hunters of Southeast Michigan recorded unexplained whispers and photographed orbs and what they described as a transparent human figure inside the restaurant. Lead investigator LaChance said the group believed three ghosts were present and that staff and regulars had nicknamed the woman most often seen "Nellie," describing her as appearing to be in her 40s; her identity was not established. The owners said lights in the upstairs office switched on and off and doors opened and closed on their own, calling it more of a "Casper" type presence than anything threatening.

In a May 2026 report, 99.1 WFMK's John Robinson described the same two figures: an older woman with her hair in a bun seen upstairs, and a younger presence associated with the women's restroom. Robinson wrote that vases had been broken by unseen hands during a renovation, prompting the owners to speak aloud and reassure whatever was there that the business meant no harm.
