Michigan is beautiful by day.
But when the sun goes down, the forests grow quiet, the roads stretch empty, and the waters of the Great Lakes turn black, old stories begin to surface.
Some say a strange red-faced creature has wandered the streets of Detroit for centuries. Others swear they have seen a wolf-like beast moving through the forests of northern Michigan. There are mysterious lights that appear where no lights should be, haunted ships that refuse to disappear, ghostly figures along lonely roads, and places where the stories say something is still waiting in the darkness.

From the Nain Rouge and the Michigan Dogman to mysterious lights, haunted waters, restless spirits, and forgotten places, these stories are told in the spirit of a late-night campfire tale-where fact and folklore meet, and the truth may be less important than the question:
