Michigan’s Dogman is Due to Make Another Appearance in 2027 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Michigan Dogman.The name alone strikes terror and fear in the hearts of…….Nobody. Wikipedia describes it as “a seven-foot tall, blue-eyed, or amber-eyed bipedal canine-like animal with the torso of a man and a fearsome howl that sounds like a human scream.” Most of Michigan’s population hear these ‘tales’ and laugh it off or shrug it off or smirk it off. So we've heard the stories about this thing...so what is it? According to eyewitnesses who say they saw it, it looks like either a large do
Michigan's Horror Movie Hosts #1: Christopher Coffin (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With Halloween just around the corner, it's time to bring back and remember the old horror movie hosts that permeated the television waves from 1he 1950s and 1960s - when they reigned supreme and before they began fizzling out by the 1970s. Sure, you can catch some current ones in this day and age, but the edginess and creativity are gone, along with the envelope being pushed as far as possible.

John Acker was one of the first settlers to arrive and soon, thanks to his raves, more families came to settle, work, and raise families. Another early settler, Wi
The Former 1923 Pulver's Gas Station Still Stands in Old Town (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Don’cha just love these old buildings that pop up? This little building at 127 W. Grand River in Lansing is now an ice cream stop, but once upon a time it was a corner gas station operated by the Pulver Brothers. Elmer Pulver owned a local hardware store but he needed more. So he and his brother Ben founded their own offshoot of a Sinclair gas station and named it the Pulver Brothers Sinclair Oil Company. By 1924, the Pulvers had four gas filling stations throughout Lansing, including this one f
