Is Packard Plant haunted?

The record holds 2 claims, 1 legend, 1 named entity — filed as reported, not verified. The heaviest filing is classed documented legend. The archive documents the claim; it takes no position on the ghost.

The record — long form

Packard is the '03 — the 'Albert Kahn' that's the architect, the 'reinforced concrete' that's the first. The '80 buildings' is the size — the '3.5 million sq ft' that's the rubble, the '1.6 million' that's the cars. The 'Studebaker' is the '54 — the 'merged' that's the failed, the '1958' that's the closed.

The 'scrappers' is the stripped — the 'public nuisance' that's the sued, the '2022' that's the demolished. The 'Palazuelo' is the '13 — the '$405,000' that's the auction, the '$350 million' that's the promised. Packard is the ruin — the 'iconic' that's the Detroit, the 'mini city' that's the never.

The file keeps Packard: the 1903 plant, the Kahn concrete, the Studebaker merger, and the demolition.

Packard Plant is the archive's Detroit file — the automotive ruin.
