Haunted Great Lakes Lighthouses: Ghosts from Michigan to New York
Episode notes
About this episode
| Great Lakes lighthouse keepers faced storms, isolation and the constant responsibility of protecting ships from dangerous inland waters. This episode visits eight lights in Michigan, Ohio and New York where that demanding history later became connected to reports of footsteps, apparitions and unexplained activity.
Michigan provides six locations: Old Presque Isle Lighthouse, Point Iroquois Lighthouse, Whitefish Point Lighthouse, Seul Choix Point Lighthouse, Pointe aux Barques Lighthouse and Saginaw River Rear Range Light. Their stories span several lakes and different eras of maritime navigation. Fairport Harbor Lighthouse in Ohio and West Pierhead Lighthouse on Lake Ontario in New York complete the route. The episode places supernatural claims beside the work of keepers and their families, showing how repetition, loss and long periods of isolation shaped Great Lakes lighthouse folklore. |
