Travel Michigan’s coast—and into the state’s history—with otherworldly tales of the spirits of those who sought to keep its waters safe. Michigan has more lighthouses than any other state, with more than 120 dotting its expansive Great Lakes shoreline. Many of these lighthouses lay claim to haunted happenings. Former keepers like the cigar-smoking Captain Townshend at Seul Choix Point and prankster John Herman at Waugoshance Shoal near Mackinaw City maintain their watch long after death ended their duties. At White River Light Station in Whitehall, Sarah Robinson still keeps a clean and tidy house, and a mysterious young girl at the Marquette Harbor Lighthouse seeks out other children and female companions. Countless spirits remain between Whitefish Point and Point Iroquois in an area well known for its many tragic shipwrecks. Join author and Promote Michigan founder Dianna Stampfler as she recounts the tales from Michigan’s ghostly beacons. “Haunting tales of Michigan’s lighthouses . . . Her stories come from lighthouse museums, friends and family.”—Great Lakes Echo

What is it about lighthouses that make them bastions of spiritual activity? Built for strength and permanence, they are nonetheless vulnerable, protecting lives yet isolated and remote. Unforgiving of human frailty, these outposts inevitably become the settings for tragedy—and for the spirits that linger on at the site of their ruined hopes, their sufferings, their obsessions. With its incessant fogs and infamously craggy coast, Maine has the second highest number of lighthouses in the country. Many of these 64 beacons are shrouded in wisps of rumor and mystery. There are ongoing strange and eerie events and occurrences that recall past violence or sadness—stranded crews who resorted to cannibalism, keepers driven to madness by unending days of blinding fog, children drowned in shipwrecks. Author Taryn Plumb explores the ghostly tales and mysteries surrounding Maine lighthouses. Some hauntings can be directly tied to a known historical event, while others seem to have no origin, yet all will enthrall you with their spookiness.

Prepare to plunge into dangerous waters. A fifty-foot fishing trawler and its captain, James Karl Moreland, vanish from the waters off Barney’s Cove, Maine in 1989. Did the captain and his vessel merely succumb to the violent battering of an angry and tumultuous sea, or was there something sinister going on? Less than two weeks into an extensive land and sea search, the close-knit coastal community is plunged into terror when the murdered body of the local lighthouse keeper is found, and a young woman mysteriously falls to her death. The case remains unsolved two decades later, when scuba enthusiast and journalist Brandon Summers travels to Maine for a dive vacation in 2008. He finds himself drawn into the town’s suspicious past and a series of strange events only prompts Summers to dig deeper. Brandon becomes the target of a ruthless quest to keep the truth from emerging. This novel will appeal to adventure-seeking adults who enjoy an exciting read; this well-crafted seafaring tale includes intrigue, action, history, romance, and the supernatural. The book is set in two different time periods, with the suspense mounting as the narrative smoothly transitions back and forth while the gripping story unfurls.
