This week's episode is on the Paulding Light! Located between Paulding and Watersmeet, Michigan, the Paulding Light is a mysterious light (or group of lights) seen with consistency since the 1960's. While its origin is unknown, and its changed over the years, the light is viewed by hundreds, if not thousands, of people a year- including us! We talk about our experience visiting it, the possible origins, and whether or not it's an illusion. Plus, a youtube channel about retirees and their RV!
On our second episode of season two, we return to Marshall to talk about more of its ghostly residents. Seriously, point at any house in Marshall and there's bound to be something skulking around in it.
We're back! Man, what a time this has been, but we're so excited to be back and talking about all things spooky again. This week we're discussing Marshall, possibly the most haunted city in Michigan!
Special thanks to Brian Mason, author of Haunted Marshall: Ghosts, legends and folklore in Michigan's Most Paranormal Town. Without his book, we might still be researching.
In this second episode of Michigan's quarantine, Crysta sits down with her husband, author Greg Pizzino to talk about time slips, Colon, automatic writing and more! Hopefully this will be the last of the quarantine episodes, and Crysta and I can get back together to record more soon. In the meantime, enjoy a more relaxed Haunted Mitten.
Hey Michighouls! Sorry for the wait. Here's a special episode of Haunted Mitten! Today we talk about our personal experiences along with my husband, author Aaron Isett! We discuss everything from Bigfoot to Time Slips, so grab your favourite hot drink and settle in for a little distraction!
Totally forgot to share Aaron's social media, so you can find him on all things as @aaronisett! Sorry, love!
Universities
There are 93 colleges and universities in Michigan. The oldest is the University of Michigan, founded in 1817 in Detroit as the University of Michigania, 20 years before we became a state. Several of these institutions of higher learning have roots in the 19th century. Is it any wonder that some of them might be haunted? In this episode, we are going to focus on 2 universities, Central Michigan University and Michigan State University.

Haunted Bridges What do you do in a state that’s over 40% water and people need to travel? Build bridges. This week we take a look at some of Michigan’s most sensational haunted bridges, including one that we investigated ourselves. See below for a link to that video.

A very special shout out to everyone at Crazy Wisdom, the owners Bill and Ruth, managers, current and former employees, and extended community. I (Crysta) have had so many doors open to me thanks to my time at both the Crazy Wisdom store and Crazy Wisdom Community Journal. Crazy Wisdom was the first place to feel like home after I moved to Michigan from California, a difficult time in my life. To those who have never visited Crazy Wisdom, do check it out and support this local bookstore and tea room. Personal plug: you can read my columns and articles on the Journal’s website or pick up a printed copy if you are local to Southeast Michigan.
