February 26, 2020 The Ghosts of Central and State
Universities

There are 93 colleges and universities in Michigan. The oldest is the University of Michigan, founded in 1817 in Detroit as the University of Michigania, 20 years before we became a state. Several of these institutions of higher learning have roots in the 19th century. Is it any wonder that some of them might be haunted? In this episode, we are going to focus on 2 universities, Central Michigan University and Michigan State University.

Haunted Bridges
What do you do in a state that’s over 40% water and people need to travel? Build bridges. This week we take a look at some of Michigan’s most sensational haunted bridges, including one that we investigated ourselves. See below for a link to that video.

Special thanks to the Ann Arbor District Library and Elizabeth S. for aiding in our research.
A very special shout out to everyone at Crazy Wisdom, the owners Bill and Ruth, managers, current and former employees, and extended community. I (Crysta) have had so many doors open to me thanks to my time at both the Crazy Wisdom store and Crazy Wisdom Community Journal. Crazy Wisdom was the first place to feel like home after I moved to Michigan from California, a difficult time in my life. To those who have never visited Crazy Wisdom, do check it out and support this local bookstore and tea room. Personal plug: you can read my columns and articles on the Journal’s website or pick up a printed copy if you are local to Southeast Michigan.
