The Paulding Light
Saturday Nov 28, 2020
Saturday Nov 28, 2020
This week's episode is on the Paulding Light! Located between Paulding and Watersmeet, Michigan, the Paulding Light is a mysterious light (or group of lights) seen with consistency since the 1960's. While its origin is unknown, and its changed over the years, the light is viewed by hundreds, if not thousands, of people a year- including us! We talk about our experience visiting it, the possible origins, and whether or not it's an illusion. Plus, a youtube channel about retirees and their RV!

Special thanks to Brian Mason, author of Haunted Marshall: Ghosts, legends and folklore in Michigan's Most Paranormal Town. Without his book, we might still be researching.

Universities
There are 93 colleges and universities in Michigan. The oldest is the University of Michigan, founded in 1817 in Detroit as the University of Michigania, 20 years before we became a state. Several of these institutions of higher learning have roots in the 19th century. Is it any wonder that some of them might be haunted? In this episode, we are going to focus on 2 universities, Central Michigan University and Michigan State University.

Haunted Bridges
What do you do in a state that’s over 40% water and people need to travel? Build bridges. This week we take a look at some of Michigan’s most sensational haunted bridges, including one that we investigated ourselves. See below for a link to that video.
Denton Road Bridge
Canton, MI

NOTE: This Belleville Denton Road bridge is a different one than described in the other write-ups, though the story of the activity is the same. We suspect that someone got this bridge mixed up with the other bridge further north in Canton.
