Description
"The Haunted Lighthouse," Seul Choix Pointe Light (1891) is about 8 miles from Gulliver in Michigan's Upper Penninsula on the north side of Lake Michigan.
The lighthouse is reported as being haunted by the ghost of James Townshend, s ship captain and brother of the lighthouse keeper who died while visiting here in 1910.
There are footsteps and things are move around in the lighthouse, including turning around the hat on a costumed manikin in the museum and leaving cigars in a pocket of the uniform. The strong odor of cigar smoke accompanies his appearances.
I didn't experience anything unusual in the lighthouse, but did find a plastic skeleton in a closet.
This photo was taken with a Nikon E8700 with the lens set to F/7.1, shutter speed of 1/350 second and ISO 50.
