Michigan is home to its fair share of spooky, bizarre, and haunted places, but many of our famous ghost stories can be explained away by science or reason. However, there’s one historic home in the Great Lakes State that holds a truly frightening past, which makes its paranormal significance extra creepy. We think that Bruce Mansion in Burnside Michigan might just be one of the most haunted places in Michigan.
This mansion is located at 5977 North Van Dyke Road in Brown City, Michigan.
In the 1920s, a man named John Walker and his wife moved into the mansion. Walker’s wife left him in 1925, and he was found dead inside his home less than a year later. There is no official cause of death listed on his death certificate.
In the early 1900s, a woman named Cynthia Smith purchased the mansion and later died in it. It was around this time that the mansion began serving as a host site for local funerals; talk about eerie.
With its string of on-site resident deaths and its history as a funeral parlor, the mansion has been a hotspot for paranormal exploration throughout the years, although now it is a private residence.
Amateurs and paranormal investigators alike have reported plenty of frightening activity throughout the house - no word on whether the current owners agree or not.
Growls have been reported from the basement, human apparitions have appeared, and eerie voices have been detected by those brave enough to have once entered the mansion.
Today, the halls of the mansion are, assumedly, quiet - they no longer conduct tours or allow investigations, and it serves as a private home.
So, what do you think? Could you have braved a trip to the mansion during its heyday?
If you’re craving more than just a haunted Michigan mansion that you can’t visit anymore, and hope to have some more hands-on experiences at other places, make sure to go on our haunted road trip through Michigan.
