Haunted Michigan
Over the years, the Bowers Harbor Inn in Traverse City, Michigan has gained notoriety for being home to the ghost of its original owner, Genevive Stickney. Rumors have it that Genevive, an obese and jealous woman, had a special mirror designed to make a person look thinner as it was approached. In 1964, a patron rushed downstairs shaken, her face ashen. She had been standing before Genevive's gilt-edged mirror. "I was alone in the hallway and noticed another woman looking in the mirror behind me." She turned around to discover no one behind her.
At one point, Mr. Stickney engaged a nurse to help care for his wife. Soon after, the nurse became his mistress. Genevive detested the woman, fearing her husband would bequeath his riches to her. Upon his death, Genevive's premonition became true, as Mr. Stickney left his money to the nurse, and only the Inn to his wife. Some believe the situation drove Mrs. Stickney into severe depression that eventually led her to hang herself from the rafters of the elevator shaft.
Since her demise, many have sworn by her presence. Lights have suddenly turned on, mirrors and paintings have fallen of walls, and guests have reported a blurry female appearing in vacation photographs.
