The Terrace Inn (Petoskey)

Mission Point Resort (Mackinac Island)

Grand Hotel (Mackinac Island)
Another haunted spot on Mackinac Island, the Grand Hotel, is said to be home to several ghosts. The most famous is the ghost of a man in a top hat, often seen on the porch. Other reports include the sounds of children playing when no children are present and sightings of a woman in Victorian clothing.
Holly Hotel (Holly)
While not exactly in Northern Michigan, the Holly Hotel is worth mentioning. This hotel has a history of fires and tragic events, leading to numerous reports of ghostly activity. Guests and staff have reported seeing apparitions, hearing disembodied voices, and feeling sudden drops in temperature.
Many of my Traverse City ghost tour guests recommend this site because of their paranormal encounters experienced at this location.
Traverse City State Hospital (Traverse City)
Now known as The Village at Grand Traverse Commons, this former asylum is infamous for its eerie atmosphere and ghost sightings. Visitors have reported seeing apparitions, hearing strange noises, and feeling an overall sense of unease in certain parts of the building.
Bower’s Harbor Inn/The Jolly Pumpkin (Traverse City)
This charming restaurant is believed to be haunted by the ghost of Genevieve Stickney, the wife of the original owner. After her husband remarried, Genevieve is said to have hanged herself in the mansion. Her spirit reportedly roams the building, causing strange occurrences like lights flickering and doors slamming shut.
The current Grand Traverse County Sheriff told this author of an encounter he believed to be paranormal in nature when responding to a potential breaking alarm at this location. Only to find the place empty of living souls except himself and his partner. However, he felt that they were not alone at the location upon witnessing strange shadows in the second-story area and footsteps in the building.
I have had an encounter at Bower's Harbor with a spirit and captured this apparition on film staring out at me from a second-story window.
Old Presque Isle Lighthouse (Presque Isle)
This lighthouse, built in 1840, is said to be haunted by the ghost of George Parris, a former caretaker. Visitors have reported seeing a mysterious light in the tower and hearing unexplained noises. Some have even claimed to see the ghostly figure of Parris himself.
Fort Mackinac (Mackinac Island)
This historic fort has a long history of ghost sightings. Soldiers who died during the fort's active years are said to still patrol the grounds. Visitors have reported hearing phantom footsteps, seeing apparitions, and feeling cold spots.
Many of my ghost who guests visit Fort Mackinac tell of their ghostly visitations in the fort. Often the feeling of not being alone or feelings of being watched. The most fascinating encounter shared with this author was of guests seeing the spirit of a soldier roaming the bunkhouse.
The Old Mission Lighthouse (Traverse City/Old Mission Peninsula)
According to local lore, two lighthouse keepers are haunting and the lighthouse is set on the shore of Grand Traverse Bay on the northern point of Old Mission Peninsula.
One is a lighthouse keeper, who served diligently for many years, and was deeply attached to the lighthouse. Some say he died under mysterious circumstances, while others suggest he may have drowned in a tragic accident in the surrounding waters. His spirit is said to linger around the lighthouse, continuing his watch. The second keeper's legend has it that the keeper met a tragic end, and his restless spirit still roams the grounds.
Apparitions of the keepers, unexplained noises, cold spots, and poltergeist activity have all been reported at the old Mission Lighthouse through the years.
