It's not Halloween time, but it's still a cool time to think about zombies. Somewhere along the way, things such as zombies and vampires became very trendy.
But, if you live in Michigan, could you survive a zombie apocalypse? A new study finds which states are prepared for such a disaster and which states are "toast."
The study comes from StudyFinds.org, which states, "Watching a zombie apocalypse movie can be a great way to kill some time, pun intended. However, a new survey finds plenty of Americans are actually prepping for the day their local streets are full of the walking dead. In fact, one in four don’t think it’s unusual for prepare for a real-life zombie apocalypse."
To find out which states would make a safe haven from the walking dead, researchers looked at more than 1,200 search terms related to getting ready for a zombie apocalypse. The crew also looked at those results and compared them to each state's population. The best states to survive the zombie apocalypse is Wyoming. I have no idea why. Michigan is among the worst states to survive one, at No. 42 on the list. Yikes. Let's hope it never happens. Find the full list here.
Welcome to the spooky season. Of course, there are plenty of great haunted houses and haunts in Michigan, but what about some actual haunted hotels? We have those, too.
I did some digging and found a great article via OnlyinYourState.com that names six haunted hotels in the Mitten. I knew we had a few, but having six haunted hotels makes Pennsylvania the perfect state to celebrate Halloween. "Haunting elements seem to linger in hotels, where tortured souls met their unfortunate deaths," OnlyinYourState.com states in the article. "Still, even though they may make spooky bumps in the night, their presence seems to garner Michigan hotels plenty of curiosity among guests who want to experience what it’s like to lodge in haunted accommodations. Here are some spots throughout the state where you can still book a room in a spooky hotel."
I'm actually pretty easily scared, so a real-life ghost story would most likely scare me off from an overnight stay, unless I was with something who could talk sense into me. Either way, I really think all of these hotels look interesting- almost historical. Read on for six haunted hotels in Michigan via OnlyinYourState.com and find more information on all of the hotels here. It's worth noting that most of these hotels don't claim to be haunted, so there are no guarantees that you'll run into Casper during your stay. Also, note: The original list had The Inn on Ferry Street in Detroit, but sadly, that establishment has closed, so we removed it from the list.
Landmark Inn, Marquette
"Amidst the shopping, dining, and entertainment of downtown Marquette and Lake Superior's blissful shores, discover a place with six floors and a million stories," their official website states. Perhaps ghosts, too?
Nahma Inn
This is a delightful pick if you're going up north, as the Nahma Inn is located on Lake Michigan in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Red Apple Restaurant and Inn, Wayne
This inn has a restaurant that's supposed to be incredible. I found way more information on the restaurant than the inn itself!
The Henry, Dearborn
The Henry is one of Dearborn's most popular hotels, but did you know it's supposedly haunted? If you're spotted a ghost here, let us know!
The National House Inn, Marshall
The National House Inn in Marshall is a very historical hotel, which makes sense, because Marshall is full of Michigan history.
The Henderson Castle, Kalamazoo
On it's official website, The Henderson Castle bills itself as "the most popular Inn in Kalamazoo." With a name like The Henderson Castle, of course it could be haunted, too.
