Her stories come from lighthouse museums, friends and family.”—Great Lakes Echo

Book Description
Listen to the stories of the restless dead Amidst the sparkling lakes and rolling hills of Northern Michigan lies Newaygo County.

Atop a tree-covered hill sits a long-abandoned house, where the spine-tingling cries of the ghost of Screaming Ethel can be heard. The strains of unearthly piano music emanated through the rooms of a 1920s era mansion once belonging to Al Capone's lawyer. The wraithlike spirit of a little boy is seen walking precariously along a river dam. Join author Marie Helena Cisneros as she weaves the area's vibrant history together into some of Newaygo County's most chilling tales.
