Michigan has its share of spooky legends (see for yourself on our haunted location page). Not surprisingly, a good number of these "hauntings" revolve around a supposed witch who continues to roam these locations. Pere Cheney: The Witch That Cursed This Ghost TownThe historic town of Pere Cheney was established in 1874, but went abandoned by 1917. It is now a literal ghost town, plagued by hundreds of reports of "paranormal activity." According to legend, a witch was blamed for the fires and disease outbreak that ravaged the city. She was hanged on a large and menacing tree in the back of the town's old cemetery. It's this cemetery that's said to be the town's most "haunted" location. During our investigation, we caught some impressive EVP's by this tree. Hear them in our video below: |
