On the shores of the famously haunted Lake Superior sits a lighthouse, built of brick and concrete. Though the light was automated decades ago, hundreds still pass through its doors to stay the night.

The Mysterious: Michigan Stonehenge
As promised in last month’s historical mystery post, this month we will be discussing Lake Michigan Stonehenge, what it actually is, what it could be, and why it’s there. Now, that sounds like a lot to cover, but there’s surprisingly not many legitimate sources surrounding this structure under the choppy waters of Lake Michigan. Take …
Legend Has It: Michigan’s Hell’s Bridge
This month’s urban legend is a little-known tale from Algoma Township, near Rockford, MI - how are you all liking this dive into the lore of the mitten state? I hope you’re all ready for this one. There isn’t a lot of information on it but it is semi-infamous locally, probably due to the legend …

Creepy Cryptids: The Michigan Dogman
Growing up in Michigan has afforded me a lot of connection to nature - the beaches and their lakes, rivers, sand dunes, and incredibly expansive forests. The forests, however, have historically given me the creeps. Any time I’ve ever spent in forests - hiking, camping, even walking in my backyard - has normally ended with …
