Welcome!
We're glad you're here! Haunted Mitten began in 2019, with two long-time friends in a coffee shop lobbing ideas back and forth. We knew we wanted to write and talk about our passion for the past twenty years: the paranormal. But how to make it special, both to us and to a larger audience?
Well, we should write what we know! And we know Michigan. And, as it turns out, Michigan has a very haunted history!
So join us as we discover deep Michigan history, spooky hauntings, UFO sightings, cults, serial killers, and more!
