There are plenty of purportedly haunted places in Michigan, but few structures hold the intrigue and spookiness of a lighthouse. After all, our Great Lakes are full of history – both eerie and enchanting – and lighthouses play a major role in this maritime lore. Whether you’re a standard history buff or more of a paranormal enthusiast, there’s one supposedly haunted lighthouse in Michigan that should be explored.

Seul Choix Pointe Lighthouse is located off County Highway 431 in Gulliver, Michigan.

The tower and accompanying quarters, established in 1892, can be visited year-round by curious tourists and history-loving Michiganders. The light’s interior and an on-site museum are open seasonally.
