RAVCOMING SOONERSE CITY:

Bower's Harbor Inn  The restaurant on Old Mission Peninsula is a well-known haunt. The house was supposedly left to Genevieve by her late-husband. Meantime, it's said, all of his other assets were inherited by a mistress. Heart-broken and betrayed, Genevieve later died in the house and is said to still walk the stairs, open windows, blow out candles and appear in an antique mirror in the ladies' second-floor restroom. Ever since this old mansion was remodeled into a restaurant in 1959, a ghost has walked its halls. Glasses break, lights go on and off by themselves, and objects fly through the air, all for no apparent reason. Several guests have reported seeing the reflection of a ghostly woman in an antique mirror on the premises.  I have personally had an encounter with Genevieve in the infamous bathroom--she banged loudly on the bathroom door five times

Central Grade School - Haunted by a little girl and janitor killed in a fire. She drew a simile face on the window that is still seen to this day.

It is said she used to have own many homes and is a disgruntled landlord. She is mostly seen sitting near a gazebo in front of her old house.

Traverse City - Golden Rod Road - A young man is seen looking out a window holding a computer. He has been heard many times saying he has plenty of hard drive but not enough ram. For some reason he points to his head and repeats snood over and over. He is believed to have been killed at McDonalds by a crazed driver in the parking lot while attempting to call for help on his cell phone.

Traverse City - Hoosier Valley - People who live down in Hoosier Valley have seen a man walking around at night dragging chains behind him. One time residents of a house down there walked outside and saw him standing behind a pine tree in their front yard. They went inside and the next morning they went out to the tree and the tree had been cut down and there was no sign of the man. It is said that if you go outside at night you can hear him walking around in the woods dragging his chains.

Old Traverse City State Hospital - closed down in 1989. - The Traverse City State Hospital is in many ways considered haunted by locals. If you try enter the hospital with religious material such as: Bibles, holy water flasks, or crosses, they are destroyed before entering the building. On the grounds of the hospital, you can see various ghosts. You can also hear the voices and screams bellow from the hallways of the psych wards. Sightings of little baby's and old people walking inside on different floors and ghostly figures that chase the people that dare to even go inside. Sightings of disfigured creatures roam the basements and tunnels. On various occasions you will see lights on in the rooms of the patients, but no electricity is connected to them and the power has been inactive for years. It isn't even unusual to find possessions on the grounds. - A WARNING TO ALL THAT INVESTIGATE THE AREA. TRESSPASSERS ARE NOT ALLOWED.

The ghost town of Pere Cheney - " Pere Cheney was originated in the early 1800's the first time, as a small community that built up around the railroad. Cholera ran through the city and killed most of the people, the survivors moved to the nearby towns of Roscommon and Grayling. Subsequently, the town was razed to prevent further infection. Approximately 50 years later, around 1877, the town was built again, on a much smaller scale. Again, cholera swept through the town and it had to be razed again. Many locals think the place was old indian land, and has a curse on it, thus the reason for the towns inability to survive. If you would like to hear the ghost stories/legends, email me"

Not far from Grayling is a cemetery from the late 1800's named after a small town that died out circa 1900. The cemetery has only a handful of tombstones, many of which have been vandalized or withered with age. There is reference to several mass graves there from a plague of small pox and a major fire that destroyed the town. The cemetery has produced several tales of problems with electrical devices such as cars and radios, as well as sightings of ghostly figures and childish laughter.
