Ghosts of Michigan's Upper Peninsula

Michigan’s beautiful Upper Peninsula plays host to some of the state’s most spine-tingling ghost stories. At Old Victoria, a ghostly apparition continues to rock in her favorite chair. Visitors can still hear the screams of miners trapped and killed in the wreckage of the Mansfield Mine disaster. Trampled to death over false claims of fire, the victims of the Italian Hall Disaster linger on in Calumet. And Mackinac is home to more than one hundred ghosts, making the island one of the state’s most haunted places. Local author Jennifer Billock recounts the chilling tales of the UP’s spectral heritage.
