I would like to see this for myself. I’m not saying i doint belive you but i have never seen a ghost and i would like to…

That would be so… cool that would be sooo….. fun.

I love that I’m going to see for myselfe……..

I think that that would be an interesting place to visit as long as the ghost are friendly!

I grew up in Traverse City but never visited this place. However, I have heard many stories. From doors slamming, inoperative (no power source) elevator running, faces in mirrors, lights turning on and off and glasses being thrown across the dining facilities, there are just to many stories to dismiss it.

Sounds creepy. I am a scaredy cat and probably would not like to go in there! But i guess it would be kind of fun.

I make poop in my bed yesterday

Hi again this is %/&$//&%

this is awesome i live on what used 2 be a cemetery so thats awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!

It would be so cool and spooky to see a haunted house and ghost one day.But i dont think i would not….

I visited the hotel in the 1980′s for my cousins wedding. When we were walking outside on the grounds of the hotel – I swear that I saw an image of a woman in one of the upstairs windows. (I thought it was a ghost).

Really!?!…I live in Michigan and I think I will have to see this for myself.

I believe in the Bowers Harbor Hauntings. I was visiting the Inn with two friends for dinner fall of 2004. I heard about the hauntings of the Inn before our visit. I and another woman were using the ladies restroom on the second floor. I was telling the lady about the hauntings. Just before leaving the restroom the door to the joining sitting room closed on us. During dinner the waitress asked what we were driving. She said that our lights were left on in the vehicle. My friend went to her car and found that not only were the head lamps were on but every light inside and out were on. The strange thing was it was still daylight when we arrived at the Inn. We never used the headlights.

I have been to the Inn for dinner many times. It is an incredible place to watch the sunset while having dinner. I stopped on the stairs to look into the infamous mirror…while I was waiting for Genivive to appear….the main entry door flew open behind me. There was nobody at the door. It was enough to make me believe she was in the room. As far as I can tell she is friendly. Some of the staff members had specific stories, but others did not (just a feeling).

Having lived in the Inn, (my mother was a part owner),I can verify the hauntings, as many different things occurred while we were there. Genavieve was never harmful, just mischievious. It has lent for many stories and fond memories!!

Ok, I am going to the Bowers Habor Inn for dinner next weekend and I am definately NOT going to go to the bathroom…not even if i have to! I love ghost stories but i am the biggest baby after having to live in a haunted place for a year…so i dont really want to experience any strange occurances when i am alone. As far as eating dinner around a bunch of people and having something happen…im game! but i DONT want to look into a mirror and have a face starring back at me CREEPY!!!!!!

This isn’t completely true. I have been to Bowers, and after hearing of it being haunted, I asked one of the waitresses if it was haunted. She said it was, but there is a different legend behind it, and the ghost does different, but similar, things.

According to the waitress, the ghost was originally a woman who lived in the house that was previously Bowers with her husband. The husband grew ill, and required special care. He hired a nurse, who ended up being his mistress. When he died, he left his mistress all of his possessions and money. The only thing he left for his wife was the house. Out of despair and jealousy, the wife hung herself in the elevator.

The ghost supposedly throws things off of counters, and causes power outages. No one has claimed to see her in the 2nd floor mirror, as far as I know, because
the elevator is located, or at least permanently stopped, on the 3rd floor.

I myself have been to Bowers and seen the elevator. It really is creepy looking, partially because it’s so old and non-functional.

I have been to BHI and it is beautiful!
When we were there Prom was going on during dinner.
I went upstairs to use the ladies room. It was empty and I did my “business”, but when i tried to flush the toilet it wouldn’t FLUSH!
A group of chatty prom girls came in and I felt like I had to hide out in there until the rest room was empty to avoid an embarassing situation.
As I waited, for what seemed like forever, at the stall door for the girls to leave the toilet behind me made a LOUD flush.
Is it possible for a toilet to flush like that?
I think it was Mrs. Stickney playing a silly trick on my nerves.

I think Traverse City State Hospital is the scariest place in the area.
