Antlers Bar & Restaurant
"The Old Bucket Of Blood Saloon"
Coordinates: 46.494490°, -84.329224°
Location Address: 804 E. Portage Ave, Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan
Antlers Bar & Restaurant in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan was originally constructed in 1903 as the Bucket of Blood Saloon. It was used during the American Alcohol Prohibition of the 1920's as a speakeasy and brothel while being disguised as an ice cream parlor and is said to be haunted by two unidentified female spirits. One spirit is believed to belong to a woman who once worked at the location as a prostitute during the 1920's, and many believe the other spirit to be that of a former waitress or bartender, however these claims are unable to be verified. Employees and patrons at Antlers Bar & Restaurant often report witnessing the shadowy apparitions of the two women, as well as experiencing other unexplained paranormal activity such as doors opening and closing by themselves, or objects such as dishes and furniture being moved by an unseen entity. On several occasions employees working at the restaurant have reported witnessing televisions and other electronic devices turning on or off by themselves, including one night when the jukebox turned on by itself and began playing The Star Spangled Banner. Antlers Bar & Restaurant was also featured in an episode of a popular Netflix show called My Ghost Story in 2012.

The Satisfied Frog
Coordinates: 46.500668°, -84.347542°
Location Address: 209 W. Portage Avenue, Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan
The Satisfied Frog is a bar located in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan. It was constructed in 1896 as a fur trading post and has been renovated to serve many different purposes over the years, including a tavern, boarding house, retail store, and telephone company. The location is said to be haunted by the spirit of a man named Mel who passed away in the 1920's or 1930's, as well as a young woman named Sheila who worked as a maid or nanny when the building was first used as a tavern. Another spirit believed to haunt the old bar is that of an angry, malevolent man who is encountered by employees in the basement. Although the man's identity is unknown, psychic mediums investigating the location believe that the man committed some type of unforgivable act in life, and is afraid to cross over and face judgement for his sins. Those working at The Satisfied Frog at night when the bar is closed report witnessing mysterious flashes of light, and objects being moved around or pushed off shelves by an unseen entity. Many also report feeling as if their energy is somehow being drained by a supernatural force, or experiencing overwhelming feelings of lethargy and fatigue that subside upon leaving the building.

Valley Camp Museum Ship
"The SS Valley Camp"
Coordinates: 46.499207°, -84.336402°
Location Address: 326 E. Portage Avenue, Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan
The SS Valley Camp is a 550-foot long industrial freighter powered by a single 1,800-horsepower triple-expansion reciprocating steam engine. It was constructed in 1917 by the National Steel Corporation and remained an active maritime vessel until 1966, at which point it was purchased by a company called Le Sault de Sainte Marie Historical Sites, Inc for use as a museum. The historic freighter features many unique exhibits, including four 1,200-gallon aquariums, items recovered from various shipwrecks, and numerous other antique maritime relics and artifacts. Guests visiting the Valley Camp Museum Ship often report witnessing apparitions and shadow figures, as well as experiencing other unexplained paranormal phenomena such as disembodied voices, footsteps, and other strange sounds. One popular exhibit featured in the museum displays two battered lifeboats that were recovered from the wreckage of a ship called the SS Edmund Fitzgerald, which sank in a tragic storm on November 10, 1975, killing all 29 crew members on board. Over the years many tourists observing the two lifeboats have reported experiencing overwhelming feelings of sadness and despair which subside upon leaving the exhibit. The Valley Camp Museum Ship was added to the National Register of Historic Places in February of 1972, and still features much of the ship's original interior paneling and other features.
