| Mission Point Resort |
Mission Point Resort on
Mackinac is considered to be the most active of all the haunted areas on the island.
The “Moral Re-Armament
Movement” first built the buildings that make up this resort in the 1950s. It
was used as the international headquarters for this spiritual group, which
aimed for world peace.
In 1966, the buildings were
donated to Mackinac College—a four-year school that graduated only one class in
1970.
The property has been used as
a hotel since the 1970s.
The resort’s most famous
ghost was a student at the college. This ghost is nicknamed Harvey—this was not
his real name. This ghost is very active.
According to the legend, this
young man fell in love with a fellow student. He asked her to marry him, but she
turned him down. He then went to the woods in the bluffs behind the hotel and
committed suicide.
His body was not found until five months later.
His body was not found until five months later.
Suspicions arose that his
death might be murder instead of suicide when it was revealed he was shot
twice in the head, and a gun was not found near his body.
It was speculated another
student was involved in his death—but the cause of death remains officially
suicide.

Several paranormal groups
have picked up EVP’s in the theatre. Including the young man’s voice, as well
as the humming described below.
Other ghosts seen or heard at
Mission Point include: a child heard calling for his parents, several Native
Americans have been seen wandering the grounds, and a woman is heard singing or
humming an old-time tune in the theatre.
All alone supposedly, late at night in the dark in my dorm room at Mackinac College, I felt a dark and eerie presence standing at the foot of my bed. I didn't sleep a wink all night, and failed my exams the following day it bothered me so much.
