There was a double suicide, murder within the Manor and once was set up as a funeral home for awhile. We are considering this location for our next investigation.

We will start by going on the tour to get the history of the beautiful bed and breakfast it has been restored to, then renting a room there for a night. Share your ghost stories about the Laurium Manor with us in the meantime!

Haunted Accounts: Eagle Harbor

A first hand report on the Haunting of the Eagle Harbor Lighthouse, at Eagle Harbor in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (Keweenaw Peninsula), on Lake Superior.
"I enlisted in the Coast Guard on Nov. 3, 1975, and was transferred to Lightstation Eagle Harbor in Jan.1976 where I spent three years.
I am wondering if you had heard any stories of the lighthouse being haunted by any other people? The reason I ask, is because I lived a year in the light house, a year in the big white house, and a year in the short brown house.
At the time,(I can't speak for the present time) the lighthouse and the white house were heavily haunted. The brown house was fine. But shortly after I moved into the lighthouse, strange noises would come from the bedroom on the second floor, like furniture was being dragged heavily across the floor, with sounds of loud footsteps. The light switch at the bottom of the tower, would mysteriously click on and off continually. I could see the light coming on from under the door to the tower on the main floor. When I would open the door and look down, it would stop, until I closed the door. My alarm clock would be in a different spot in the morning, or turned off in the night.
I was constantly calling the Coast Guard District Office in Cleveland, complaining that the lighthouse was haunted and I wanted a transfer, and they just shrugged it off.
A guest once claimed to have seen a ghost in the bedroom late at night, a man in a plaid flannel shirt with no face. The next morning, she left the light house in extreme fear, and never came back.
After tolerating this for a year, the white house became vacant, and I anxiously moved in. This house turned out to be worse. I would be awakened in the middle of the night, especially in winter by voices in the bedroom. Footsteps would be heard downstairs late at night on the hardwood floors. They would then slowly come upstairs, down the hall, and stop at the entrance of the master bedroom. By this time, I would be absolutely terrified, laying in bed covered in sweat. The footsteps would start again on the ceiling, a few minutes later. Strange things and noises would happen almost continuously.
A year later, a vacancy came up for the brown house, and I moved in. In this house, I never heard or experienced anything strange at all. Probably a good thing, or I would have gone completely nuts. I was stationed there so long, many other families would come and go. Everyone who lived in the white house and the lighthouse were terrified of the hauntings. They were not a constant thing, they would just come and go in phases.
I am wondering if you have heard this from anyone else, or if anyone has ever died in or near the lighthouse?"

Inhuman Spirits

Inhuman spirits are thought to be spirits that have never been in a human form, thought to be demons and of evil intent. They possess incredible strength, capable of moving large and heavy objects such as throwing tables across a room. Highly imaginative they can take any form they please and do what they please with their surroundings such as turn water to blood, muscle to jello, wood into rock. The only thing that seems to match their strength is their intelligence. These spirits can not only be downright scary, but extremely difficult to eradicate as well. They do not attach themselves to a building nor an object as a residual or intelligent spirit would, but rather they attach themselves to actual humans. This gives them no boundries of where they can go and many times will go where ever the human they attach themselves to goes. They are the type of spirit that is known for human possession or that will try to possess a person. They feed off of a persons emotions such as fear, anger, hatred or anxiety, the stronger the persons emotion, the stronger the inhuman spirit seems to get. They can also cause negative personality changes in a person they possess. This is not a spirit to be taken on by yourself and you should seek the help of a qualified proffessional when dealing with this type of spirit.
