Summary

From the Back Cover: Tour ghostly Bay City, Michigan and read tales of Native American residents, the legend of Paul Bunyan, and other lumberjacks who traveled down Hell's Half Mile-the roughest stretch of land in the state. Ghosts still haunt the city and surrounding areas of Midland and Saginaw. Explore Bay City Theatre, with its ghost chair for the former manager. Pine Ridge Cemetery has Civil War soldiers who communicate beyond the grave. Read about the haunted home where spirits hide keys, write messages on walls and carpets, and leave objects from the spirit world. These haunts will chill you well into the night.
