The haunted Lighthouse at Presque Isle - Michigan




This post is from Geneva: Hey everyone how's it going? Well we were just at Presque Island and we just saw a HAUNTED LIGHTHOUSE!!!! Well there is a new lighthouse (built in 1870) and a old one (1840). The story to the old lighthouse is this: One night a lady and her older sister went to the lighthouse to climb to the top. But the older sister was to old to climb. So the lady went all by herself while the sister sat at the bottem with the other lady working there (Linda) as they waited and waited the lady had been up there for a long time and the sister was worried so Linda said she'll be back soon but when she didn't come back Linda was just about to go up and look when the lady came down and exclaimed " Wow that was such a cool lighthouse with the guy dressed up in vintage told me all about the area!" Linda looked back at her and said "What guy there is nobody working here except me"........... CREEPY!!!! Now do you think it was a fake? Well many more people have reported it so you tell me. My family and I got to walk up those steps and let me tell you, luckily we did not see any ghosts! But you want to hear more? Well, this lighthouse still lights up, but here's the scary part the light had no bulb in it and the wires were cut when the new lighthouse was built. Every night at 9:30 the light shines. I got to see it light up even though it was not connected to anything. I got to walk up the stairs to the light, well I hate to say this but I'd say the lighthouse is haunted. Okay one more story, if you ever watched on the SciFi channel Unsolved Mysteries, they actualy shot a part of the series there and here's what happened....... They were looking for anything lightbulbs, wires anything. They never found a single bulb or wire. As the crew was walking out of the lighthouse for lunch the last man stepped out and "Whoosh" the door slammed shut. They tried to get the door to open but it was jammed so one man offered to climb up a ladder to the window and climb down the steps and open the door from the inside because all their equipment was inside. Just as he was reaching for the door he felt something cold as he slowly turned he swore he saw something in the shadows. A ghost. So he was desperate to get out so he banged and banged until the door opened. The blacksmith was looking at the door and said that there is no possible way that any human force could do that to the door. Again it has to be a ghost!!! So all of these are from the old lighthouse. I had a blast looking at everything in the musem next to the lighthouse. Well write comments!!! And Brendon I have read good books called the Twilight series and Suzzane Hi!!!!! I miss everyone!!!!!

Hi, just noticed you were in Presque Isle. When the Rawlings clan went up the Erie Canal and into the lake when grandmother and granddad were bringing their boat to Sandusky we had some excitement happen. When wee came into the area to stay for the night we saw divers in the water and police cars everywhere. Apparently some one had robbed a bank and came to the dock and jumped in with the loot and they were looking for the money. It was on the evening news and it was pretty dark when we came in. the next morning Mark, Brendon and Alan went diving in the area to see if they could find anything. All they found was a Fossil watch, but they kept it as a souvenir. We are booking our flights for Uncle Herb, Alan and I to come see you over Christmas. Alan made enough money that he may also come during Thanksgiving or Spring break. Have fun at band camp, I always did.

That sounds really scary! I would be way to scared to even go near the lighthouse. Because I believe there are ghosts there. So thats really freaky!
