Book Description

October 18, 2000
True Ghost Stories You’ve Never Heard Before

Within these pages you will not find ancient ghost stories or legendary accounts of spooky events of long ago. Instead, Rev. Gerald S. Hunter shares his investigations into modern ghost stories . . . active hauntings that continue to this day.

You’ll learn that "Dead Brothers Still Care" in Escanaba, and that "Amish Kids Like Cake, Too" in Montgomery. From Marshall’s "Spectral Sewing Circle," to Milford’s "Demon in the Dark," Haunted Michigan uncovers a chilling array of local spirits in its tour of the two peninsulas.

Wherever you may dwell, these tales of Michigan’s ethereal residents are sure to make you think about the possibility, as Hunter suggests, that we are not always alone within the confines of our happy homes.

So wait until the shadows of night have cast a pall over the serenity of your peaceful abode. Then snuggle into your favorite overstuffed chair, pour yourself a bracing bolt of 80-proof courage, and open your mind to the presence of the paranormal which surrounds us all.

Gerald S. Hunter is an ordained United Methodist minister currently serving a parish church in Hartland, Michigan. He was educated at Albion College, where he received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Religious Studies, and at The Methodist Theological School in Ohio, where he received his Masters of Divinity. Rev. Hunter is currently enrolled in the Masters of Counseling program at Central Michigan University in Mount Pleasant.

An avid writer, Rev. Hunter has had articles published in The Detroit Free Press, The Akron Beacon Journal, and The Michigan Christian Advocate. He has also taught creative and business writing at Saginaw Valley State University as an adjunct instructor of English.

Rev. Hunter and his wife, Tracey, maintain a home in Hillsdale County, Michigan.

This review is from: Haunted Michigan: Recent Encounters with Active Spirits (Paperback)
A great, scary book. Full of NEW ghost stories, all true, and all hauntings continue to this day. Nothing old here. This was truly spine tingling fun!

Rev. Hunter writes in a fun, fresh, and frightening style. Contains many photos, and gives some addresses so you can check out some of the places yourself, including bars, hotels, etc. If you like true ghost stories, you'll love this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Book, May 5, 2002

This review is from: Haunted Michigan: Recent Encounters with Active Spirits (Paperback)
This book caught my eye because I am from Southern Michigan myself. I like the way the author not only told the case story of the haunt, but also told about the setting of the city. I'd just like to find the haunted house in my hometown of Marshall..... Anyways, I'd recommend this book to anyone who has even the slightest interest in ghostly activity. It was a book I definatly had trouble putting down!
