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!

A very special shout out to everyone at Crazy Wisdom, the owners Bill and Ruth, managers, current and former employees, and extended community. I (Crysta) have had so many doors open to me thanks to my time at both the Crazy Wisdom store and Crazy Wisdom Community Journal. Crazy Wisdom was the first place to feel like home after I moved to Michigan from California, a difficult time in my life. To those who have never visited Crazy Wisdom, do check it out and support this local bookstore and tea room. Personal plug: you can read my columns and articles on the Journal’s website or pick up a printed copy if you are local to Southeast Michigan.
