Autumn is a special season in Michigan, with beautiful fall colors, fun cider mills, apple cider, donuts, pumpkins and more. Of course, don't forget about Michigan's great haunted attractions.
Michigan really does have some of the finest haunts you'll find in America. I think it's a Midwest thing, to really get into the spooky season with haunted houses, corn mazes and haunted hayrides. I mean, we have tons of beautiful farms around here that always get into the spirit with their own haunted attractions and especially corn mazes.
What's also interesting is that Michigan is one of the most haunted states in America. That's according to the website GhostsOfAmerica.com, which says that Michiganders have reported the fourth-most ghost sightings across the country, only behind Texas, California and Ohio. On top of that, almost every city in Michigan has reported at least one ghost sighting, according to GhostsOfAmerica.com, which means there's no escaping the scary stuff.
It's hard to believe, but Halloween is getting closer, which means that pretty soon, all the haunted fun will be over. Can't someone have a year-round haunted attraction? Yes, please. I really do think a year-round haunt would be popular, not to mention all the cool stuff you could do around the holidays mixing Halloween and Christmas. Read on for a list of 11 must-see Michigan haunted houses and attractions, from corn mazes to houses, which I hear are among the scariest around. Make plans to visit them, if you dare.
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.
