INVESTIGATION REPORT
INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION IN MICHIGAN'S UPPER PENINSULA
AUGUST 22-24, 2003 # OF INVESTIGATORS= 2
WEATHER=CLEAR, 80'SF, MOON PHASE=WANING CRESCENT
TWO OF OUR BEST INVESTIGATORS MADE A JOURNEY TO MICHIGAN'S U.P. THEY VISITED SEVERAL PLACES, INCLUDING 2 CEMETERIES. THIS AREA IS KNOWN AS COPPER COUNTRY. BACK THE LATE 1890'S AND EARLY 1900'S, THIS AREA WAS BOOMING WITH FOLKS GETTING RICH OFF THE COPPER MINING INDUSTRY. ALTHOUGH THIS ERA IS LONG GONE, THERE ARE STILL MANY QUAINT LITTLE TOWNS, AND SOME HISTORIC BUILDINGS WITH A LOT OF PARANORMAL ACTIVITY. ONE STOP THEY MADE WAS THE INFAMOUS CALUMET THEATRE. THIS SHOW PALACE ONCE HOSTED THE LIKES OF DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS, LON CHANEY SR., FRANK MORGAN, AND MADAME HELENA MODJESKA-WHO HAUNTS THE THEATER TODAY. SINCE OPENING IN 1900, THE THEATER HAS BEEN A PLAYHOUSE AND A MOVIE HOUSE. IT IS NOW BEING RESTORED, AND HOSTS 60-80 EVENTS PER YEAR. IT IS BEAUTIFUL, AND HAS BEEN DEEMED A NATIONAL HISTORICAL SITE.
ANOTHER PLACE THEY VISITED WAS THE NEW MONASTERY. THIS IS RUN BY THE ST. JOHN SOCIETY--MONKS, AND HAS REPLACED A MUCH OLDER MONASTERY. IT IS CALLED: "THE JAM-POT" ANOTHER HISTORICAL PLACE IN THIS AREA IS CALLED THE LAURIUM MANOR INN. IT IS AN OLD MANSION, BUILT IN 1908. THERE ARE TOURS AVAILABLE.
THE CEMETERIES VISITED WERE THE SCHOOLCRAFT CEMETERY (1865) IN CALUMET, AND THE CALVARY CEMETERY (1898) IN AHMEEK.
ALL OF THESE SITES ARE WITHIN THE KEWEENAW PENINSULA, THE NORTHERN-MOST POINT IN MICHIGAN.
I THANK THE INVESTIGATORS FOR THEIR DEDICATION AND WONDERFUL WORK RECORDING THE PARANORMAL ACTIVITIES THEY FOUND IN THIS BEAUTIFUL & HISTORIC AREA.
