Haunted Mitten Podcast
This is a database of high strangeness in the state of Michigan. I'll be updating this as we do more research on the mitten state. For now, enjoy!
Lower Peninsula
Ada
Ada Witch of Findlay Cemetery -- 2 Mile Rd NE, Ada, MI 49301 -- A female figure in a white or light blue flowing dress and long, flowing hair is seen walking around and near the cemetery. At least once she was seen sitting in the middle of Bailey Dr. THIS IS NOT SARAH MCMILLAN. Please do not remove pieces from graves, or graveyard dirt.
Adrian
Siena Heights University -- 915 E Siena Heights Dr, Adrian, MI -- Strange eyes seen in one dorm room, and despite all attempts at covering them, they still appear. Doors open and close on their own. Nothing pasted to walls stays on. Rocking chair moves on its own. Personal items go missing.
Trestle Bridge -- South of West Gier Road and Bailey Road -- The apparition of a farmer walks the area around the bridge, looking for his family. People have reported to hear women and children crying. BRIDGE IS FUNCTIONAL. DO NOT STAND ON.
Allegan County
Melonheads -- Felt Mansion near Saugatuck -- Legend has it that small humanoids with extremely large heads roam the woods in Allegan County around the old Felt Mansion. Legends state that these are children experimented on by an evil doctor, or that these were children with hydrocephalus in an asylum released into the world when the hospital closed. They live in underground tunnels, and jump out and attack people who get too close.
Ann Arbor
Crazy Wisdom Bookstore and Tea Room -- 114 S. Main St., Ann Arbor, MI 48104 -- Water taps turn on by themselves. Chandeliers move on their own with no breeze or AC. Pieces of chandeliers have jumped from their casing and landed on the floor before an employee. Books regularly jump off the shelves, and are usually significant to the person who finds them. Giggling has been heard in the basement by the elevator. Footsteps are frequently heard when an employee is alone in the building, regardless of time of day. Disembodied voices have been heard regularly. CURRENTLY CLOSED, RUMORED TO BE OPENING AGAIN.
Gandy Dancer -- 401 Depot St, Ann Arbor, MI 48104 -- People have seen lights turn upside down, and glasses fly off shelves. A “well-dressed” man has been seen within the restaurant as well.

Paulding
Paulding Light -- Near Watersmeet, MI off US 45 on Robbins Pond Road/Old US 45 -- A mysterious light that appears down an old railway that, so far, defies explanation. Legend states it could be the ghost of a brakeman along the line who was killed on the tracks and tries to warn others of the train coming. Others say it is the spirit of a Native American dancing on the power lines that line the little valley. It has been seen for decades, and there's always a party at the viewing platform.
