The Michigan Triangle is a part of Lake Michigan. The first side of the triangle is formed by connecting Ludington to Benton Harbour, Michigan. The second side is formed from Benton Harbour to Manitowoc, Wisconsin. The third side is formed from Manitowoc back to Ludington. The bizarre occurrences in the area of the magnificent lake have been the cause of curiosity among researchers for centuries. (Photo by Hulton Archive/Getty Images)

I'm sure you've heard of The Bermuda Triangle, but did you know that Michigan has its own mysterious triangle in water? The Michigan Triangle is a famous, triangular part of Lake Michigan that has gotten a reputation for its sinking ships, disappearing crews and lost aircrafts.

According to HistoryDaily.org, the Michigan Triangle is home to a bunch of mysteries, much like the famed Bermuda Triangle. "The Bermuda Triangle has cemented its status as one of the most mysterious places on Earth. Boats and planes have disappeared mysteriously from this region, and other pilots and boat captains have reported strange, unusual occurrences in the triangular area off the coast of Bermuda. But did you know that the Great Lakes are also home to a curious and puzzling patch of water in Lake Michigan that has also been said to lure ships and planes to a watery demise? It is known as The Lake Michigan Triangle," HistoryDaily.org notes.

There is so much more to this mysterious area, including UFO sightings. What freaks me out is that some of the Michigan Triangle is located by my uncle's home off Lake Michigan. The next time I go there, I'll have to remember not to go too far into the lake! Read on for a few things you didn't know about the Michigan Triangle.

Welcome to the spooky season. Of course, there are plenty of great haunted houses and haunts in Michigan, but what about some actual haunted hotels? We have those, too.

I did some digging and found a great article via OnlyinYourState.com that names six haunted hotels in the Mitten. I knew we had a few, but having six haunted hotels makes Pennsylvania the perfect state to celebrate Halloween. "Haunting elements seem to linger in hotels, where tortured souls met their unfortunate deaths," OnlyinYourState.com states in the article. "Still, even though they may make spooky bumps in the night, their presence seems to garner Michigan hotels plenty of curiosity among guests who want to experience what it’s like to lodge in haunted accommodations. Here are some spots throughout the state where you can still book a room in a spooky hotel."

I'm actually pretty easily scared, so a real-life ghost story would most likely scare me off from an overnight stay, unless I was with something who could talk sense into me. Either way, I really think all of these hotels look interesting- almost historical. Read on for six haunted hotels in Michigan via OnlyinYourState.com and find more information on all of the hotels here. It's worth noting that most of these hotels don't claim to be haunted, so there are no guarantees that you'll run into Casper during your stay. Also, note: The original list had The Inn on Ferry Street in Detroit, but sadly, that establishment has closed, so we removed it from the list.

Landmark Inn, Marquette

"Amidst the shopping, dining, and entertainment of downtown Marquette and Lake Superior's blissful shores, discover a place with six floors and a million stories," their official website states. Perhaps ghosts, too?

Nahma Inn

This is a delightful pick if you're going up north, as the Nahma Inn is located on Lake Michigan in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

Red Apple Restaurant and Inn, Wayne

This inn has a restaurant that's supposed to be incredible. I found way more information on the restaurant than the inn itself!

The Henry, Dearborn

The Henry is one of Dearborn's most popular hotels, but did you know it's supposedly haunted? If you're spotted a ghost here, let us know!

The National House Inn, Marshall

The National House Inn in Marshall is a very historical hotel, which makes sense, because Marshall is full of Michigan history.

The Henderson Castle, Kalamazoo

On it's official website, The Henderson Castle bills itself as "the most popular Inn in Kalamazoo." With a name like The Henderson Castle, of course it could be haunted, too.
