Haunted MI
Michigan's Great Lakes shores and railroad towns have produced ghost stories about lighthouse keepers, hotel owners and lost sailors.
Historic hotel and restaurant Holly, MI
Built in 1891 to serve railroad passengers, the building survived a major fire in 1913 and now operates as a restaurant and comedy club. Staff and diners report cigar smoke, a woman's perfume and the original owner standing at the top of the stairs, and the hotel holds seances each October.

Visiting: Museum and tower open in summer and early fall, with a seasonal haunted lighthouse event; check hours locally.
