DH and I were given a gift certificate to spend the night at this lighthouse in Michigan's upper peninsula. We will sleep in the old Coast Guard crew quarters that have been turned into a bed/breakfast to raise funds for the preservation of lighthouses. The place looks pretty calm and serene, don't you agree?

Through the years, close to 100 tragic deaths have been reported along the shoreline near this lighthouse, including the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald where 29 men were lost in a violent November storm on Lake Superior in 1975.
These old Coast Guard crew quarters are reported to be haunted. Even though the ghosts are said to be friendly, I am a bit skittish about sleeping here! The ghosts combined with trying to sleep two in a double bed (I have slept in a king since I was 18 years old--I need my space!) is making me wonder if I really want to do this.
On the other hand, I have never seen a ghost. If one decided to visit on the night I was there, it would certainly be a unique experience!
What would you do?

Oh I bet that will be such a great trip. This time of year there should be little other tourist traffic. ENJOY!
ReplyDeletethanks, Now I've got that song in my head about the night the ship went down!?!? Who sang that anyway?
ReplyDeleteHave fun!
I would be there in a heartbeat! It will be a fund experience. You know I am a lighthouse lover.
ReplyDeleteZoey! Wow! This is a tough one! I love that part of Michigan and it is for such a good cause but....I am a serious whimp when it comes to stuff like that!!! I don't think I could do it. I wouldn't be able to sleep and I would probably drive my husband nuts! Good luck! Can't wait to hear what you do!
ReplyDeleteI'd go for it...I hear you on the tight sleeping quarters...but it's cozy!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a beautiful place.
sounds like fun...
ReplyDeleteHmm glad I don't have to make a decision about staying there. :) Honestly bet it will be fun.
