16" in Gile! Wow! Any other big totals out there?

3" in Proctor, MN. 2" in Duluth, MN with light snow still falling.

Looks like a nice coating! Snow here in Duluth but not as much. I also know they got snow over in Iron River, WI.

I remind myself that my money is now buying more shares. I don't know what the market is going to do so I ride it, both up and down. I'm hoping to retire in my early 50s (or at least go do something more "fun" part time!), so this recent drop doesn't make me happy. I haven't checked my...

lol! I'm down about 20% myself. Very eerie!

Several years ago, a ghost hunting group worked with the owners of the property to rebuild the mansion using the original blueprints. However, as far as I know, nothing came of it. More here...

That's so cool! Do you remember seeing a pool table in the house?

Cool pics! That's definitely not Summerwind but it looks like a nice spot. Haunted AF, yes?!?!

Yes, it was called The Carver Effect.

It burned down on Father's Day 1988, as I recall. It was struck by lightning, but in the past few years, some people have come forward with the suggestion that the town council (or similar) burned it down on purpose to keep ghost hunters and trespassers from coming to the property. See here...

The Paulding Light is off of Robbins Pond Road, but it's not too far from Summerwind. Some of my all-time favorite pics of Summerwind can be found here, for those that are interested: https://chadlewis.proboards.com/thread/1331/summerwind-photos-more-1981-88

Ginger Hinshaw's father (using the synonym Wolffgang Von Bober) wrote "The Carver Effect" in the 1970s (I think). He details his opinions on why the place was so haunted. The book is available online, but it's very expensive ($300+), presumably because there aren't many copies available? I...

That's a great pic. I love the ghost stories from the Timm's Hill area as well. Thanks for sharing!

A good overview of some of the stories can be found here: https://paranormalmilwaukee.com/news/a-second-look-summerwind-mansion/

Summerwind is a great story. I've read a lot about it and it's quite fascinating. Last winter, I stayed in Eagle River and found the road that goes by the property, but I was too nervous to drive down it because I've read that neighbors don't like lookey-loos. Years ago, I even wrote a...

Halloween is my favorite holiday by far, and I love reading about regional legends, folklore, and ghost stories. Do you have a favorite UP ghost story or "haunted" location? My favorite story is probably about the Crying Cabin near Marquette. How about you?

It's coming!

I agree 100%! My cousin became a police officer a few years ago and I do sometimes worry that he'll find himself in one of those crazy moments where a split-second decision he has to make might ruin his life.

pclark, we have a cabin in Iron River, WI and I noticed less boat traffic on the lake than I would have typically expected. It was pretty cool and windy on Saturday, though, so maybe that was a factor. Also, we had 39F on Sunday morning!

jonesin, we're tied. I'm also at $2.49!!
