The Ghosts of Mackinac Island | Ghost Stories, Paranormal, Supernatural, Hauntings, Horror
Mackinac Island to me is one of the most intriguing places I've ever visited. Even as a child, something drew me to the island and called me back time and time again. I wouldn't say it was paranormal, but there was something about it that I couldn't put my finger on.
Located between the upper and lower peninsula of Michigan, Mackinac Island is a tourist hot spot in the summer seasons. In winter, it could very well be the setting for a horror movie like the shining as the population drops off to locals only, with the only way to access the island being a once daily ice-breaking fairy or helicopter.
The massive resorts such as the grand hotel sit empty, with only the maintenance and caretakers roaming the halls... Or could there be others still on the island... not so living people... still walking the halls of these historic resorts and homesteads.
On today's episode of The Grave Talks, we hear several ghost stories, yet just touch the surface of one of the most haunted islands in the world. The Ghosts of Mackinac Island.

Mackinac Island is about 8 miles (13 km) in circumference and 3.8 square miles (9.8 km 2) in total area. The highest point of the island is the historic Fort Holmes (originally called Fort George by the British before 1815), which is 320 feet (98 m) above lake level and 890 feet (271 m) above sea level.
Mackinac Island (/ˈmækᵻnɔː/ MAK-in-aw) is an island and resort area, covering 3.8 square miles (9.8 km2) in land area, in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is located in Lake Huron, at the eastern end of the Straits of Mackinac, between the state's Upper and Lower Peninsulas. The island was home to an Odawa settlement before European exploration began in the 17th century. It served a strategic position as a center on the commerce of the Great Lakes fur trade. This led to the establishment of Fort Mackinac on the island by the British during the American Revolutionary War. It was the site of two battles during the War of 1812.
In the late 19th century, Mackinac Island became a popular tourist attraction and summer colony. Much of the island has undergone extensive historical preservation and restoration; as a result, the entire island is listed as a National Historic Landmark. It is well known for its numerous cultural events; its wide variety of architectural styles, including the famous Victorian Grand Hotel; its fudge; and its ban on almost all motor vehicles. More than 80 percent of the island is preserved as Mackinac Island State Park
The island can be reached by private boat, by ferry, by small aircraft, and in the winter, by snowmobile over an ice bridge. The airport has a 3,500-foot (1,070 m) paved runway, and daily charter air service from the mainland is available. In the summer tourist season, ferry service is available from Arnold Transit Company, Shepler's Ferry, and Star Line Ferry to shuttle visitors to the island from St. Ignace and Mackinaw City.
Motorized vehicles have been prohibited on the island since 1898, with the exception of snowmobiles during winter, emergency vehicles, and service vehicles. Travel on the island is either by foot, bicycle, or horse-drawn carriage. Roller skates and roller blades are also allowed, except in the downtown area. Bicycles, roller skates/roller blades, carriages, and saddle horses are available for rent. An 8-mile (13 km) road follows the island's perimeter, and numerous roads, trails and paths cover the interior. M-185, the United States' only state highway without motorized vehicles, makes a circular loop around the island, closely hugging the shoreline.
The island is the location of Mackinac Island State Park, which covers approximately 80 percent of the island and includes Fort Mackinac as well as portions of the island's historic downtown and harbor. No camping is allowed on the island, but numerous hotels and bed and breakfasts are available.
The downtown streets are lined with many retail stores, candy shops, and restaurants. A popular item at the candy shops is the locally produced and nationally known Mackinac Island fudge, leading to tourists sometimes being referred to as fudgies. Many shops sell a variety of fudge, and some of the confectioners have been operating for more than a century. The popularity of the fudge has led to the sales and marketing of Mackinac Island fudge not only throughout Michigan but outside the state as well

Ok, so Mackinac Island is by far the coolest place I have ever been at in Michigan. I grew up in the state of Indiana and had never ventured all the way up to the Upper Peninsula in Michigan. I am so glad we were able to explore this part of the country at the start of our Full-Time RVing adventures!
On Mackinac Island you can choose to travel around it by boat, bicycle, horse, or on your own two feet! Taking Mackinac Island tours while in the area is highly recommend and make sure you get some of that Mackinac Island fudge!

My summer vacation vlog with family on Mackinac Island!
There are no vehicles on this island, with the exception of emergency vehicles. You must walk, ride a bike or take a horse to get around this beautiful island. I spent summers as a kid traveling to the island for a fun-filled weekend so this was a very special reunion trip for me.
