What is Haunted Traverse?
A locally rooted storytelling and experiential platform based in Traverse City, Michigan, where an ordinary woman explores an uncommon path through paranormal history, ghost stories, nature-based living, and intuitive exploration. Best known for its guided ghost and walking tours, Haunted Traverse offers visitors and readers the opportunity to engage with the legends, folklore, and lesser-known histories of Northern Michigan through thoughtful storytelling, research, and lived experience.
What will you find on this website?
Beyond the tours, this website is also home to several interconnected creative projects.
Find helpful information on earth-based spirituality, tiny house living, and life lived quietly at the edge of a haunted forest Crone in a Haunted Woods reflective journal.
Located just 15 minutes south of Traverse City, come visit my cut-flower and photography farm called Ghost Farm Gardens. Rooted in beauty, seasonality, and reverence for the land- not just to be viewed, the Ghost Farm Gardens offers workshops and u-pick events for all to explore and enjoy.
Together, these tours and projects form a living archive of stories gathered from the seen and unseen — shaped by curiosity, intuition, and a deep connection to place.
