There’s a whole lot of history here, which certainly contributes to its reputation as a haunted site. In fact, Nunica Cemetery has served as a final resting place for local Michiganders since its opening in 1883.

One reason for Nunica Cemetery’s status as an apparently haunted spot is the presence of Civil War gravesites. Paranormal enthusiasts have even reported coming across ghosts of Civil War veterans.
