Guests staying on the historic hotel's 6th floor report waking to the apparition of a woman pacing back and forth in the middle of the night, especially in Room 612, and others report experiencing an uncomfortable feeling, as if they are somehow not alone. During the 1970's the Hawthorne Hotel was used to film an episode of the popular television show, Bewitched, and in 2007 the location was featured on an episode of Ghost Hunters, where members of The Atlantic Paranormal Society (T.A.P.S.) were able to gather evidence and confirm rumors of paranormal activity. #4 - House of the Seven Gables MuseumCoordinates: 42.521776°, -70.883515° Location Address: 115 Derby Street, Salem, Massachusetts, 01970 Sometimes referred to as the Turner-Ingersoll Mansion, the House of the Seven Gables in Salem, Massachusetts was constructed in 1667, and is renowned as being the oldest wooden mansion in New England.

It's said that Sheriff Corwin often took suspected witches back to the basement of his house to engage in various acts of interrogation and torture, with many townsfolk even claiming that the man derived pleasure from these acts of violence. As the High Sheriff of Salem, he was also in charge of confiscating the property and belongings of those who were accused of witchcraft. Four years after the Salem Witch Trials, in 1696, Sheriff Corwin died of a heart attack at the age of 34, which many believed was due to a curse that was put on the man by those he sentenced to death. According to legend, his body was stored for several years in the basement of the home before finally being interred at Broad Street Cemetery due to fear that the victims' families would enact their revenge on his grave. Since Sheriff Corwin's death, many of the house's residents have reported witnessing his apparition, as well as two other vengeful spirits believed to be a man and woman who were executed for the crime of witchcraft. In 2015 the Joshua Ward House was remodeled, and now serves as The Merchant Hotel, where guests and employees report experiencing a variety of unexplained paranormal activity, such as temperature fluctuations, disembodied voices, and flickering lights.

Residents living at the old jailhouse often report witnessing the apparitions of former prisoners who were hanged at the location, as well as feeling unexplained cold spots or sudden drops in temperature. Others report hearing the sounds of disembodied voices and screams, in addition to feeling a strange presence, as if they are somehow not alone.

The following is a list of allegedly haunted locations in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. To view my full list of ghost stories and haunted locations in Michigan, Click Here.
#1 - Central Michigan University
Coordinates: 43.581943°, -84.774325°
Location Address: 1200 S. Franklin Street, Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, 48859 Central Michigan University in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan was established in 1892. It is renowned as being one of the oldest universities in the United States, in addition to one of the most haunted. Students and faculty members over the years have reported encountering apparitions and experiencing a variety of other paranormal phenomena in many buildings throughout the university's 480-acre campus. In 1937 a 19-year-old cafeteria employee named Theresa Schumacher was killed in the basement of Warriner Hall after becoming stuck in a small window leading to the building's elevator shaft. According to a news article published in a newspaper called Central State Life on June 2, 1937 the young woman died of asphyxiation after the elevator unexpectedly descended from the 3rd floor, completely crushing her skull. Ever since her tragic death, students have reported encountering a female apparition believed to be that of Theresa Schumacher, who appears as a glowing blue specter. Her ghostly figure is most frequently seen near the building's auditorium or in the basement where her body was found, and is believed to be responsible for a variety of additional paranormal activity, such as disembodied voices, whispers, and footsteps. Many have also reported feeling a strange presence in the basement area, as well as witnessing the elevator doors opening and closing by themselves. One popular urban legend told by students of Central Michigan University also claims that Warriner Hall is haunted by the spirits of two lovers who committed suicide by jumping from the top of the building, however these stories were later debunked by campus officials as being false. On May 6, 1951 a student named Carolyn Corey passed away of unknown causes while sleeping in Barnard Residence Hall, and is now said to haunt the location. Although Barnard Residence Hall was demolished in 1997 due to low student enrollment, two graduate apartments called Kewadin Apartments and Northwest Apartments were later constructed over the location, which is sometimes simply referred to as The Graduate Housing Complex. Residents at these locations report encountering the spirit of a young woman wearing a white nightgown, and experiencing a variety of other paranormal activity, such as lights turning on and off by themselves, and objects being moved or knocked from shelves by an unseen entity. Powers Hall is also rumored to be haunted by the spirit of a former student named Emily who passed away sometime during the 1930's and was allegedly buried in a piano shaped patch of grass in the building's courtyard. Despite no historical evidence to validate this claim, many students at Powers Hall report hearing the disembodied sounds of a piano playing late at night, however most dismiss these claims as being nothing more than an urban legend. A series of underground tunnels spanning over 9 miles in length also runs beneath the university grounds, which were used by students to travel between buildings on campus during bad weather until 1979 when a student named James Dallas Egbert is rumored to have gone missing in the tunnels. Additionally, maintenance workers in the basement of Central Michigan University's Carlin Alumni House have reported hearing loud thuds and pounding noises that seem to come from within the heavy cement walls, and the disembodied sounds of heavy footsteps late at night when the building is believed to be empty. Several other buildings on campus are also rumored to be haunted, including Beddow Hall, Cobb Hall, and Troutman Hall, however very few firsthand accounts of paranormal phenomena at these locations are currently available for reference at this time. #2 - Mill Pond Park
Coordinates: 43.600096°, -84.787637°
Location Address: 607 S. Adams Street, Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, 48858 Mill Pond Park in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan is a 90-acre wetland park located on the banks of the Chippewa River. It features a playground, picnic area, and a number of wooded hiking trails. Many hiking in the park's wooded areas report witnessing shadow figures and apparitions, and experiencing unexplained feelings of being watched or followed by an unseen entity. Those walking at Mill Pond Park at night also claim to hear the sounds of disembodied whispers, and in several instances paranormal investigators have reported being scratched, or later finding claw marks that hadn't been visible before. #3 - Mount Pleasant Center
Coordinates: 43.614849°, -84.791424°
Location Address: 1400 W. Pickard Road, Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, 48858 The Mount Pleasant Center in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan was first established by the United Methodist Church in 1892 as the Mount Pleasant Indian Boarding School. The 300-acre school once consisted of 11 buildings, and was one of several similar institutions funded by the United States Congress in an attempt to reeducate Native American children and indoctrinate them into American society. Students at the Mount Pleasant Center were taught religion as well as other vocational skills, and were disciplined severely for disobeying the strict rules set in place by caretakers. For example, children who spoke in their native tongue had their mouths washed out with soap, and even breaking a minor rule resulted in students being beaten with a belt or rubber hose. The boarding school even had its own cemetery on site where children who passed away were buried, including up to 700 former students who are believed to have been buried in unmarked graves, and an additional 174 whose final resting places are marked with headstones. In 1934 the Mount Pleasant Center was reopened as a school for mentally ill and criminally insane young men called the Michigan Home & Training School. Stories of abuse and neglect at the school continued during this time, with many historians also noting that living conditions were poor due to the lack of qualified staff members and teachers. The location was renamed to the Mt. Pleasant Regional Center For Developmental Disabilities during the 1970's, and remained open until 2008. Between 2008 and 2016 the majority of the old school's buildings were demolished, however many believe the remaining buildings and the surrounding property to be haunted. Many urban explorers and others investigating the old Mount Pleasant Center report witnessing shadow apparitions and spectral figures, as well as hearing the sounds of disembodied voices, footsteps, whispers, and moans. Mount Pleasant Center was added to the National Register of Historic Places in February of 2018, and is currently owned by the Saginaw Chippewa Tribal Nation.

The following is a list of allegedly haunted locations in Metamora, Michigan. To view my full list of ghost stories and haunted locations in Michigan, Click Here.
#1 - Blood Road
Coordinates: 42.916237°, -83.282472°
Location Address: Blood Road, Metamora, Michigan, 48455 Blood Road in Metamora, Michigan is a 2-mile-long dirt roadway surrounded by swampy bogs and woodlands. It is rumored to be haunted by the spirits of a group of satanists who allegedly fled to Metamora during the late 1600's and early 1700's to escape the witchcraft trials occurring in New England at the time. It's said that the group used the wooded area surrounding Blood Road to perform dark occult rituals, including human sacrifices, and the alleged summoning of demonic entities. Although no historical evidence is available to verify these claims, many motorists traveling along Blood Road have reported encountering shadowy figures and apparitions lurking in the nearby marshes. In recent years locals have claimed to encounter men and women dressed in cloaks gathered around bonfires meeting secretly in the woods, however most believe these stories to be nothing more than urban legend. Many also note that when wet, Blood Road turns a dark red color similar to that of blood, however this is likely due to deposits of clay and other minerals found in the road. #2 - Crybaby Bridge
Coordinates: 42.962976°, -83.240522°
Location Address: Wilder Road, Metamora, Michigan, 48455 Sometimes also referred to as "Crying Baby Bridge," the location known as Crybaby Bridge on Wilder Road in Metamora, Michigan was constructed in 1938, and is one of several such bridges found throughout the United States. The story of Crybaby Bridge is a popular urban legend and folklore tale throughout the United States which typically involves a mother and child who meet an untimely end on or around the bridge, and whose spirits now allegedly haunt the site of their death. Many states have their own version of this legend, but in this particular instance the story told by locals is about a young woman driving along Wilder Road. When she reaches the bridge crossing the South Branch Flint River, her car stalls, and she exits the vehicle to attempt to investigate. When she returns, she discovers that her infant child has crawled to the edge of the bridge, and fallen into the river to drown. Despite no historical evidence to validate these stories, many claim that those who park their car on Crybaby Bridge late at night can hear the disembodied sounds of a baby crying. #3 - White Horse Inn
Coordinates: 42.941757°, -83.288937°
Location Address: 1 E. High Street, Metamora, Michigan, 48455 The White Horse Inn in Metamora was constructed in 1848 as a general store, and is renowned as being one of the most haunted locations in the state of Michigan.

According to guests and employees, Lorenzo's spirit is said to haunt the White Horse Inn along with several other unidentified men and women. Those staying on the inn's 2nd floor often claim to encounter the spirit of a man believed to be Lorenzo Hoard, as well as a group of men who were killed in a fire. According to local historians, the White Horse Inn is also rumored to have been used as a brothel, as well as a hideout for slaves fleeing the south during the American Civil War. Another apparition frequently seen by guests is that of an unidentified man wearing a 1940's style tuxedo, with many claiming that the inn is also home to numerous other spirits. In addition to encountering apparitions, employees and guests at the White Horse Inn report experiencing other unexplained paranormal phenomena, such as lights flickering, cold spots, and doors slamming shut by themselves.

 Hey everyone! Around this time in April four years ago, GhostQuest.net saw it's humble, yet ambitious beginnings. It's mind blowing to me how far this project has come, and how many amazing friends I've made on this journey. I just want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone reading this, and everyone who has decided to join me on this awesome paranormal adventure! The fact that I've gotten to know so many new people through GhostQuest.net - and even form some lifelong friendships with some of you along the way - is just completely amazing to me! Thank you all so much! When I started GhostQuest.net in April of 2016 I had no idea what the future would have in store. At first, GhostQuest.net came into existence as nothing more than a bulleted list of allegedly haunted locations in each state throughout the USA, offering nothing more than an index. I spent hundreds of hours over the course of several months compiling what I hoped would be the most comprehensive guide for folklore and haunted locations on the internet, and after four years I'm finally starting to get there!! I say "starting to get there" because despite researching and writing about over 5,000 haunted locations throughout the United States, I've still just barely scratched the surface. Over the last several years, GhostQuest.net's list of haunted places has expanded to include detailed historical information about each location, as well as reports of paranormal activity, and other useful information such as location addresses and GPS coordinates. Furthermore, I've been going through and adding new pages for each city so that people using my site can see a smaller list of locations instead of having to sort through a list with hundreds. These smaller pages also include a few really cool additional features, such as a widget to rate each location, photos, and sections for users to submit their own ghost stories, feedback, or pictures. You can see some examples of what I mean by clicking the links below: Boston, Massachusetts - Detroit, Michigan - Mackinac Island, Michigan - New York City - Staten Island, New York Alright, so if that wasn't enough for your guys, last year I also started the GhostQuest.net YouTube Channel, where I do some spooky narration videos about some of the locations I've written about, as well as some other subjects, like urban legends, cryptids, and more as I feel the muse! These YouTube Videos are released alongside my weekly blog, which features a number of spooky haunted locations and folklore tales. Additionally, GhostQuest.net saw the addition of a Media section where you can check out my videos directly from my site, and a section for podcasts that have featured GhostQuest.net! If you haven't checked them out, I highly recommend it! Last year also saw the addition of the GhostQuest.net Monthly Newsletter, where subscribers get a monthly email to keep up with all the spooky happenings over here at GhostQuest.net. Subscribers also receive a free copy of my Top 5 American Monsters eBook!! The last and possibly most exciting thing I want to share is that last year I began writing a book series called The Folklore & Haunted Locations Guide, which will be published as a series beginning later this year with The Folklore & Haunted Locations Guide: New York. My Folklore & Haunted Locations Guide: Massachusetts and Folklore & Haunted Locations Guide: Michigan are also in various stages of production, so keep an eye out for those in the near future as well! So with all that being said, here's to another spooky year of GhostQuest.net! I can't help but feel a sense of pride in the community that we've created, and this journey we've all embarked on together. Sincerely, Brian Weaver GhostQuest.net

 Hey everyone! It's April already, which means it's also time for the next GhostQuest.net monthly newsletter! I hope you're all having a great Spring so far!! For those of you who are just recently becoming part of the community - welcome, and thank you for subscribing! If you want to leave me comments or feedback, or just say hi, you can reply to this message (or blog in this case), and I'd love to hear from you!! I'm Brian Weaver and I run GhostQuest.net, one of the internet's largest online resources for paranormal researchers, investigators, and enthusiasts.

News & Updates First off, I just want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone reading this newsletter, and everyone who takes the time to send me messages on social media, and share my posts! I appreciate you all so much!! Over the last month I've made a lot of exciting updates to GhostQuest.net, and have some exciting news to share with you all!! Firstly, I'm still hard at work on my Folklore and Haunted Locations Guide: Michigan, which now contains a list of almost 400 allegedly haunted locations. You can check them out by clicking here, and share your own stories by leaving a comment at the bottom of the page. Or if you know a location I may have missed, you can let me know by replying to this email, or leaving me a comment! This month I haven't released any new YouTube Videos, because I've instead been spending time overhauling a few things; first off you'll notice that the thumbnails and other imagery on my YouTube channel have received a upgrade, which I know isn't super exciting... but it really needed to be done!! Next I went over some of my older videos to give them a little extra polish, which I'll be uploading over the next week or so. Then finally I'll be releasing a new video about 5 Notorious Haunted Places in Oswego, New York, as well as a few others I haven't announced yet! But here's a spooky clue... one is about one of the five cryptids featured in my Top 5 American Monsters eBook, which you can download for free as a subscriber to my newsletter! In the meantime though, you can check out all my videos right from GhostQuest.net by clicking the "Media" link at the top of the page!! It would really help me out a lot if you guys could subscribe to my channel, leave me a comment, and share on social media!! I've also been posting a weekly Blog about some of the awesome, spooky locations I write about on my New York & Massachusetts pages, in addition to adding new pages for each of the major cities in each of those states! What this does is allows users to see a much smaller page with information relevant to only that city, instead of listings for the entire state. This allows me to add more details about each individual location, including pictures, a widget that allows people to "rate" the location, and a section where viewers can leave comments or share their own stories. Last month I added pages for several haunted cities in Michigan, such as Allegan, Dearborn, Detroit, Flint, Grand Haven, Grand Rapids, Howell, Jackson, Kalamazoo, and Mackinac Isle. Over time I'll be creating a page like this for each city, and eventually one for each individual location too! And now for the really exciting news!!! As many of you may remember, last year I began working on my first book series: The Folklore & Haunted Locations Guide, which covers a list of allegedly haunted locations in each state throughout the United States. My first book, The Folklore & Haunted Locations Guide: New York is well on it's way to being published, and has just received its final round of edits!! Last month I met with my publisher at Raven's Quill Publishing to go over the final publishing schedule, which means I'll finally have a release date to share soon! We're also in the process of finishing the cover design which I'll be sharing with you guys as soon as I can!

On November 30, 1942, a large blizzard descended onto Lake Ontario and the West Pierhead Lighthouse, where Boatswain's Mate First Class Karl H. Jackson was stationed for duty. After being stranded at the lighthouse for five days, a small break in the storm allowed for a rescue attempt. A rescue crew of eight men was dispatched to the lighthouse to deliver supplies and replace Karl Jackson with another guard. The crew arrived at the lighthouse and was able to successfully deliver the supplies, as well as retrieve Karl Jackson, who was replaced with a different guard. Upon beginning the return trip, however, a large wave struck the 30-foot long vessel, causing it to slam into the lighthouse with enough force to cause the engine to stall. The ship was then left powerless against the 60-mile-an-hour winds pushing it slowly towards the lighthouse's eastern breakwall, which it eventually met with such force that six of its eight crew members were killed instantly, including Boatswain's Mate First Class Karl H. Jackson. According to legend, their spirits are said to haunt the lighthouse, and guests frequently report witnessing apparitions and glowing orbs at night. Others report hearing the disembodied sounds of men screaming, as well as feeling the presence of an unseen entity.
