Richmond Haunts long-form
Haunted Michigan: Eloise Asylum, Felt Mansion and Henderson Castle
Episode notes
About this episode
| Michigan’s haunted places range from cemeteries and former public institutions to mansions, hotels and an orphanage. This episode crosses the state to consider how changing uses, abandoned spaces and difficult histories have shaped local reports of unexplained activity.
The route begins at William Ganong Cemetery before turning to Eloise Asylum and Eloise Cemetery in Westland. It continues to Felt Mansion near Saugatuck, the Landmark Inn in Marquette, the former Holy Family Orphanage and Henderson Castle in Kalamazoo. Several of these places have complex institutional or community histories that deserve more than a sensational treatment. The episode separates that record from later ghost stories and visitor reports while offering an editorial introduction to haunted Michigan. |
