The Most Haunted City In The World...Located In Michigan

Now let’s get to the meat of this piece and that is which Michigan City was named the most haunted in the United States.  Interesting because I just stayed two nights in this city/island two weekends ago.  That would be Mackinac Island.  The report stated:

“Topping the torrid table of the most haunted towns is Mackinac Island, MI. Its excruciatingly high ratio of 16 haunted sites per 478 people makes it the most haunted small town in America…”

I stayed at the Haan’s 1830 Inn for two nights but did not hear or see any haunted sites.
