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!

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!!

Gary, I'm glad your little girl is doing okay. Our neighbor's dog had one of those inflatable rings as well...seems to be much better than the cone!

Cool! How long does it take to get to Manitou Island on a jetski? How far is it?

A is some pretty intense stuff. When people use it, they go off the deep end for a while.

I think John Kerry did great work. It's not easy to fly around the world in style and eat catered meals while simultaneously saving us from climate change.

I love the Walmart generic peanut butter....I think it's made by ConAgra, who also makes Peter Pan. Does Aldi sell Peter Pan?

Once they started naming snowstorms, I began to believe that it was to convince people to understand how out of the norm it was to have "bad weather." Maybe it is even to generate a little fear in people?

Your last two sentences are spot on, IMO.

I remember reading about this a while back. I'm not a fan of the idea but I'm still curious to see how it shakes out.
