The Wierd Michigan book was written by a Michigander - but like many of the Michigan books and other resources, has a distinct bias toward the eastern (Detroit) side of the state. While there are also many references that Yoopers will appreciate, the majority of the items are Saginaw / Detroit and area.
As an "outstate Troll" (Living out of Detroit but under the bridge" I was glad to see the Kalamazoo State Hospital stories, as well as the Bowers Harbor ghosts.
All in all, a good quick read, and interesting. Unlike some other "Wierd" books (such as California), the focus is on history and ghosts, not roadside attraction, leaving it much less useful as a travel guide, and more useful as a local history tour.

Thank you for voting. If your vote meets our Weird Michigan my thoughts
) I bought Weird Michigan because I was born and raised in Michigan and had heard many tales about weird experiences of family members. I bought the book to see if any of their experiences were mentioned and some of them were. I enjoyed reading about the many weird happenings in my state and was happy to see that some of them are in my area and easily visited. The only disappointing thing about the book was that I know, from personal connection and experience, that some of the facts about one perticular incident are wrong and I wonder how many of the facts about other incidents are incorrect also. All in all, I found the book interesting and entertaining.
