Manistee, Michigan Ghost Tales

   I visited the old fire dept in Manistee several years ago. Both I and my husband became overwhelmed by a feeling of death and terror at the top of the hose tower. Later, we admitted that we each were sure that someone, probably a woman had hung herself in the hose tower, probably a hundred years ago. I have had several dreams and visions about this woman and the mysterious circumstances of her death. Most likely she and her forbidden lover met in the attic of the fire hall secretly. At some point she felt she had no other choice but to kill herself. Why? Perhaps a refusal from her lover to leave his wife, perhaps an unexpected pregnancy, perhaps the discovery of the affair by the ladies husband. We may never know. My husband and I are from 600 miles away and had never visited Manistee before that day. We were both so disturbed by this overwhelming vision that we plan never to return.

While camping at Orchard Beach state park I seen a gentleman at the big pavilion on the hill. He was dressed in clothes from the late 30's early 40's with a hat on. He was reading a paper. He was not scary.
