We just went there Saturday August 22nd. We walked into the Restaurant (lower floor) which no body was in there at the moment and started looking around. We were finally greeted by a member of the wait staff who informed us that “yes, there was such a legend” but sadly he pointed out that the mirror from upstairs was brought down stairs AND the special glass was replaced with normal glass. Nothing like taking the haunt out of the place??!?!?!! Not satisfied with this we snuck upstairs after they left and found the bathroom and the Elevator. We tried our best provoke the ghosts, taunting her calling her fat and other such things to see if she would show. I even stepped inside the elevator (not sure how a fatty like Geneive could fit in that small thing) and started taunting her. My sister preteneded to hang herself while in the elevator… We then went into the Womans room and found a giant mirro in the sitting area of it. This was still not the type that made you look thinner, but none-the-less my sister kept posing in it and we were snapping pictures left and right…NOTHING happened. Oh well something are best left to the imagination…right?

for this story, it is all in your minds!

i got burned by the fireplace catching on fire myseriously

We’re authors and paranormal researchers. One of cases we investigated for our recent book, Haunted Travels of Michigan, was Bowers Harbor Inn. We spent months researching the Legend of Genevieve. We also had the opportunity of conducting an overnight investigation with a team that we’ve worked with on a few investigation. Some interesting video and audio were captured.

The elevator in the home wasn’t only used by Jennie. Her husband, Charles, was an invalid (confined to a wheelchair). The elevator was the only way he could get to their bedroom on the top floor.

BTW, Jennie died before Charles, not after … and she didn’t hang herself in the elevator!!!

Inspite of that, there is something unusual/paranormal going on at Bowers Harbor Inn. Don’t know if it’s Jennie, Charles or the original owners of the first farmhosue, but there is something.

well me and my fam were there the other night. i didnt really see anything but i did feel very strong energy in the hallway and the dark room. its very scary stuff. i was shaking so bad i was about to cry. and b.t.w dont go in the room on the left by the boys bathroom when its dark because u will get the **** scared out of you.

I just visited the Bowers Harbor Inn (now the Jolly Pumpkin Brewery) for some beer/dinner this Labor Day weekend (2010) with no prior knowledge of its history.

My boyfriend and I went upstairs to go to the bathroom and as I waited for him, I noticed an unused room by the staircase. I love old buildings and their detail, so I went over to the room to check it out and as I stepped further in, I had a feeling of fear and panic come over me and immediately had to run back out to a group of people waiting by the bathrooms. I was pretty shaken by this feeling wishing my bf would get out sooner. As I stepped closer to the people, I realized they were on some tour of some sort about the history of the house. As I listened, I caught the part of the story that the room I had stepped in was a previous lady owner’s bedroom that haunts the building and this lady occasionally makes her presence felt to other ladies…pretty freaky!

I’ve been into plenty of old homes/buildings and have wandered into rooms even floors by myself and haven’t really ever had a feeling like that. Is the ghost real? All I know is what I felt is real..that feeling of my hairs standing on end and having a sense of panic.

Does this haunted house cost anything to go to?

When I visited the Inn with my husband, I went to use the ladies room. I entered the stall and locked the door. A minute later or so, the door the stall flew open! No one was in the bathroom except for me. My heart was pounding, and at the time, I didn’t know about the ghost, but learned about it at dinner. Wild!

My husband and I took our kids to The Jolly Pumpkin. I believe that is the new name. Great restaurant. Our waitress took us on a tour of the former lumber baron’s home. Go to their website. The story is there. She became very I’ll and obese. Hence, the elevator. The baron was fooling around with the nurse. The wife found out and hung herself in the elevator. We are Michigan natives and love this place. In northwest Michigan. Beautiful area and full of great history and stories.

go to hell for that!!!! Halfsense……………
