Are you a fan of all things spooky? You don’t have to fully believe in the paranormal to appreciate the wonders of a historic destination that’s rich with ghost stories. One lovely locale here in the Great Lakes State delivers a perfect combination of rich history, fantastic service, and a dash of ghostly glee. When you’re searching for a great getaway, check out this long-standing Michigan inn.
The Nahma Inn is located on Main Street in the community of Nahma, not far from Escanaba.
If you find yourself in the Upper Peninsula, this unique lodging spot and eatery belongs on your must-visit list. For visitors who are titillated by ghost stories, the Nahma Inn is an especially fun place to be.
Constructed all the way back in 1906 as a lodging option for local lumber workers, the inn’s history is fascinating. Today, there’s a real sense of timelessness that abounds throughout the building.
With any historical destination comes a few spine-tingling tales, and the Nahma Inn is certainly no exception. When you choose to spend the night, you might just encounter the notorious Miss Nell.
That’s right: there’s a resident spirit here. Miss Nell is said to be the ghost of Nell Fleming, who wistfully stood watch from a window while waiting for her lover’s return during Nahma’s lumber heyday.
Guests have reported everything from shifted beds to personal objects moved during their stay. There have even been accounts from staff of rearranged items in the kitchen - could Miss Nell be the culprit?
Others have heard disembodied footsteps making their way through the halls, while guests at the on-site restaurant and lounge have watched dishes eerily move. Are you brave enough to see for yourself?
Whether you’re a full-fledged paranormal enthusiast or more of a casual believer in ghosts, one thing is for certain: the wonderfully original Nahma Inn should sit atop your list of Upper Peninsula destinations.
