We're back with a few more haunted universities and colleges! The first is Aquinas College, named after Saint Thomas. The second is Baker College, known for its many campuses. The third is Northern Michigan University, which we give a new nickname that is totally going to catch on, and last but not least is Siena Heights University, because somehow we got on a Catholic theme.

As always, find us on social media @hauntedmitten

WE HAVE A PATREON!! Go to patreon.com/hauntedmitten and become a patron to get exclusive content every month! The first ten patrons get a super cool ghost pin (it glows in the dark)!

Today we explore Lansing, Michigan's capitol and apparently incredibly tragic city. Listen as we tell tales of mysterious pageboys, evil senior communities, and a hotel fire that made news all the way in London.

Join us as we delve into the not-so-deep history of the Michigan Dogman. We'll discuss the song, the stories, and then get lost in werewolves and language. It'll be a fun ride nonetheless!

This week's episode is on the Paulding Light! Located between Paulding and Watersmeet, Michigan, the Paulding Light is a mysterious light (or group of lights) seen with consistency since the 1960's. While its origin is unknown, and its changed over the years, the light is viewed by hundreds, if not thousands, of people a year- including us! We talk about our experience visiting it, the possible origins, and whether or not it's an illusion. Plus, a youtube channel about retirees and their RV!

On our second episode of season two, we return to Marshall to talk about more of its ghostly residents. Seriously, point at any house in Marshall and there's bound to be something skulking around in it.

We're back! Man, what a time this has been, but we're so excited to be back and talking about all things spooky again. This week we're discussing Marshall, possibly the most haunted city in Michigan! 

Special thanks to Brian Mason, author of Haunted Marshall: Ghosts, legends and folklore in Michigan's Most Paranormal Town. Without his book, we might still be researching.

In this second episode of Michigan's quarantine, Crysta sits down with her husband, author Greg Pizzino to talk about time slips, Colon, automatic writing and more! Hopefully this will be the last of the quarantine episodes, and Crysta and I can get back together to record more soon. In the meantime, enjoy a more relaxed Haunted Mitten.
