Summary

"Welcome to the spooky shores of Michigan's West Coast! Stay alert! Ghosts lurk around every corner. Even the most unexpected places might be haunted by wandering phantoms. Did you know that several lost souls remain stranded on Beaver Island - including a king? Or that sailors on Lake Michigan have seen ghost ships struggling to reach shore? Can you believe there were lighthouse keepers who never left their towers, even after death? Pulled right from history, these ghostly tales will change the way you see Lake Michigan, and have you sleeping with the light on!" -- Page 4 of cover.
