The figure of a woman in a long white gown searches for her lover around the time of the full moon. This Ada, Michigan ghost has been seen in Seidman Park, a field on Honeycreek Road and in Findley Cemetery, where she is buried. Some people report seeing her husband killing her and fighting her lover, to the death for both men. The incident happened in the late 19th century and the cemetery is often busy late at night, mostly with ghost hunters.
Dorr E. Felt -- who invented an early version of the calculator --built a beautiful big house for his beloved wife, Agnes, who died six weeks after it was completed in 1928. The heartbroken husband died in 1930. Shadowy figures -- including one sweeping the floor -- have been seen, and footsteps and a voice are heard. Some say Agnes appears next to people, and doors open and shut. Recently renovated, this beautiful mansion is now rented out for weddings, balls and banquets.
An old iron bridge near Algoma Township is the site where seven children were reportedly murdered by Elias Friske, around 1880, and their bodies thrown into the river. There have been reports of laughing, children crying and splashing sounds. A strange figure has been reported by early morning fishermen. To get to the bridge you need to find the turnaround area on Friske Drive, take the path through the woods and walk for about half a mile.
Genevive Stickney was a little eccentric, very jealous regarding her husband and quite obese. She had a mirror that made her look slimmer. Mr Stickney, a lumber baron, took Genevive's nurse as his mistress and bequeathed her most of his wealth and property, leaving his wife only the Bowers Harbor House. He had built the house as a summer mansion and after his death the enraged and grieving Genevive hung herself in the elevator shaft. The Stickneys' house was converted to a restaurant in 1959, and today has a reputation for fine dining. Apparently an abundance of good food does not placate Genevive, for she still makes her presence felt, turning lights on persistently and even upending dishes of food. A female figure sometimes appears as a shadow in photographs, or quite clearly in her mirror, which hangs on the second floor. Some people think that Mr. Stickney has a presence there, and moves things to odd places.
