This charming Upper Michigan city is haunted by ghosts 

Schwabach Kitchens is now no longer there. A disgruntled employee burned the place down about a month or two after this video was posted. Also Sayklly’s chocolate is the best! Wayyy better than commonly found chocolate and the local favorite is called Yooper Bar

Regarding the 11 O'clock in the window etchings" In the Elk's lodges, every night at 11PM they do a ceremonial toast to their absent members.

Nice quiet town 👌 and great historic buildings 👷‍♂️ thanks Sally 😊 and Marty 😊

I noticed a sign on the sidewalk for a Stormy Kromer. As much as you like hats I think you should have one of those:) 🌻🐾

*I love the history of this place!!* The buildings are amazing!!

Superb video about Escanaba and the lighthouse history. Lived up in Munising for 2 yearrs passing thru Escanaba often. Nice time of year to spin the ghost stories. Great commentary Sally and Marty ! Will be travelling thru Esky soon to visit relatives up on Lake Superior shoreline.

Absolutely love Escanaba. Such a beautiful town. Also there is a Carnegie Library in Port Huron in the thumb area. It now serves as the City Museum. 😊

Really nice work Sally and Marty. I’ve watched many of your videos. You guys are really getting good at this: presentation, dialog, pacing, music, transitions etc. My son does video productions (professionally) and it ain’t easy. Well done.

Thank you for refreshing my memory of Escanaba. I was probably 12 the last time I visited there. Great video!

Such beautiful architecture. I enjoyed this video!😊❤

SSS and Marty, excellent video and informative commentary. Look fwd to every video you make. Thank you.

When I worked at the Western Auto HQ in downtown, KCMO, down in the sub basement, was an official fallout shelter. It still had some green metal barrels with yellow stenciled lettering for water storage and waste containment. I snagged one of them, but, I don’t remember what happened to it, this was back in the late, 70s.

Don't know where the other half of my comments went. You never want to build on old native American burial grounds. The old Ludington Hotel is unique and I no doubts is haunted since it seems like that old hotels are always haunted. The former Escanaba National Bank us cool. Love that site with the 3 historic buildings. That old museum could be haunted and is unique looking. Thanks for sharing about the Bonifas Family. First Presbyterian Church, Bethany Lutheran Church are beautiful. Love the looks of that Grey Victorian house. Love seeing where old drug stores are since I am retired pharmacist. I see they have a lot unique specialty stores. Love that Escanaba Mural on that brick building. Old Montgomery Wards sign brings back memories. Rosys Diner sounds like a place I would eat at. Pretty cool old brewery. Enjoyed your video!

That's sad that the streets seem to be empty of people. Traffic seemed steady tho. As always, Thumbs up 👍

What a beautiful building that Carnegie library is.

Hi, Sally and Marti. I always thank you for your video and driving scenes. Best wishes to you. ❤

Hey I see my building!. That's so weird! And that holy water is directly across the street from the Catholic church you filmed. So i would assume someone just left it there on their way bach to their car. Al capone had a house on 10th st and 8th ave South. Its turned into apartments now. Last time i walked by there they were remodeling, maybe the contractors have some stories about it.

I am shocked to see that someone made a video about Escanaba!!!

That's a neat town. Good fishing up there too. Cool video...thanks! 🐾

This video really brought back a lot of memories because it focused on my old neighborhood. I worked at House of Ludington and Gust Asp, I lived near the Carnegie Library (you almost got a shot of my house), I went to plays at the Bonifas Fine Arts Center, one of my friends actually lived in the light house back when it was an active military property, and my best friend and I used to climb on the old fire escape. He figured out how to jump up and grab it so it levered down to the ground. Some things have changed, but it really looks much the same as it did fifty years ago.

Escanaba is a nice town and has some of the best pasty shops. Carnegie gave grants to 60 libraries in Wisconsin and a few Colleges. Beloit College has stuff from Carnegie there. I think AT&T is still in Escanaba, Ameritech (one of the baby Bells) bought them a couple decades ago and took on the AT&T name. Fun video hope you guys tried one of GrandMa's pastys they use to be great. Stay safe and healthy.

Hello Sally and Marty from Longview Texas.

I have gotten to the point where I need my sightseeing Sally, video more and more often, keep up the good work

Loved the video! I live in Escanaba, have been for about 20yrs. Really love all the old buildings and small town feel. Thank You!

Ludington is also a City in the lower peninsula home to the Ludington to Manitowoc Cross Lake car Ferry.

Loved the video! My husband gave me permission to tell on him. A long time ago he too was afraid of the chainsaw guy at the haunted house. He nearly threw me at him to run away He was gone! 🏃‍♂️😂😂😂

Excellent presentation. Well done, Sallyvelt and Martyvelt. You and the pups rule.

The next time you're up there, Go to Rosy's! its a great little diner.

Should we start a go fund me page for Marty's lighthouse light ? LOL

I remember the Tilden House, they tore it down when I was 8-10 yrs old, it was originally a theatre with a stage on the second floor and a livery downstairs. Later, in the great depression it was converted into a dance hall and for roller skating(if I'm not mistaken).

Commenting as I watch the video. Excellent thus far. However, every site I have found lists Harbor Tower as THae tallest building in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. If you can tell us of a taller building in the UP I would love to hear about it. Love the video thus far.

Winter wonderland? 48-52 degrees is a heat wave! When it’s 10 degrees outside with 18” of snow on the ground so we can ride our sleds it will be a proper winter

Interesting, as always

Last time I was in Esky, 1979, it was a ghost town.

Been looking forward to I watch this one. Looks cold there. The story of the lighthouse and the female lighthouse keepers. Sad she died there in a fire. I have no doubt she probably is haunting the lighthouse. Probably be always a controversy about her death. You never want to

We were there this past summer, nice town. Lots of retired locomotives, good trip for train buffs.

Lovely yellow sweat shirt, Marty. Yellow was my mother's favorite color. Don't see it much anymore. People tend toward dark colored apparel.

Thank you for taking us on your journey SSS. You are indeed a ray of sunshine. ❤

I spent the Summer 1974 there and Gooseneck Lake Camp 7. Steuben was cool.

Hi Sally & Marty, Thank you for showing us this great town. I know 2 Carnegie Libraries that you would like, here in the Midwest. Check out Sycamore IL and Dubuque, IA. They both are still libraries. I love libraries, too! The Dubuque one has this amazing iron catwalk and stairway.

My daughter a Washington state girl, lives in Gladstone 8 min from Escanaba (Eskie as the locals call it)

As always another interesting video Sally❤

Escanaba was serve by the C&NW< now UP RR, Final run of the remaining old C&NW passenger train between Ishpeming and Chicago. With the Escanaba passenger train and engine crews worked Escanaba-Green Bay-Ishpeming-Escanaba, Rinal run was made on July 15, 1969.

Another great story Sally. You really make these fun to watch. Your personality is a hoot.

I noticed the Wisconsin accent right away, also being from WI myself but living in the U.P. now. 😁 Carnegie Library in Antigo, WI and Ishpeming, MI

Oh Man Rosie's Diner!! You haven't been to Escanaba if you don't experience Rosie's!

Love Escanaba! We went to lighthouse and ate at the restaurant they mentioned. Tried to go to the lighthouse across the peninsula but road turned to icy 🥶 dirt.

Another fact about Al Capone and Escanaba is that he had a huge house near Ludington park used as one of his hideouts

Another great video!

Enjoy going to UP. Thank you for this video

I had an aunt and uncle who lived in that tower.,when they got elderly.

"420 Halloween fest Oct. 28th" dang maybe next year 😂😂😂

I was married in the house of Ludington and have spent the night there. Um it is creepy that the elevator goes all by its self.

Love your channel. I'm from Crystal Falls, Michigan, sort of, and truly enjoy these little excursions.

Another reason I love living here!! ❤ The Paranormal. People dont realize this stuff exists and are skeptical bwcause they're not a witness to it, or afraid to admit it.

Excellent video. Thanks for making our Saturday! Oh....Pam says you just uploaded a new video. Off we go to watch it. ;-) Doug and Pam Belen NM USA

Loved the Breaking Bad reference,thanks Marty

Cool video. I tried to post a link to a 3rd order lens on ebay for 150 but I think the spam filters stripped it. I wonder why they built the lighthouse facing inland very wierd. Interesting ghost stories. Can you find any old cold war shelters to video?

I live in the UP!!! Whoop whoop!!!!

Time to be sacred ! Look out for the ghost , Sally ! They do exist , Marty !

Great job

We had a relative who had a stove store on that strip with the stores.

Hey Sally this is just to let you know if you need any questions about the city or town of escanaba I am one of the local natives of that town I was born and raised I have more information to share with you if you wish to make another video on the town and I'm willing to participate in the video if necessary to give you proper historical accuracy on some of the places you did Missed such as Al Capone's house he owned in the city of escanaba

Thanks!

The Swedish Panty? Did I miss it? Love the Escanaba area.

Forgot to mention that Martevelt is great. Please feature Marty in more videos. And the dogs! Don’t forget those superstar pups.

Boo!! Now that was a funny story. Don't feel bad though, my little sis did the same. Now during war threats or flu, they tell you to remain in your home I finally found out why. Your body is easier to identify. 😊

Great job sally , I really enjoyed this, thank you

Vary interesting! Thank you

There are tunnels downtown under the stores pthat go down to the lake. It is said that Al Capone used them. Speaking of him, he had a house in Escanaba. I am surprised that it isn't mentioned. Also the old Hospital

This city has a lot of, spirit(s).

Yes, Mrs. Bonifas is still around.

Escanaba is warm and less snowy for UP standards. I like it but it doesn't have the mountains like on towns on the coast of the Superior

I live up here. I've never seen anything haunted. The only strange, and u mean Erie thing I've Ever seen that actually was frightening, was The Paulding Light. THAT, was very creepy.

i wish i could have shown you guys the 1800s horse tie down behind the old 8th street coffee house

Marty, your wish list is growing.

There's a carriage library in marceline missouri.

I want to visit!

Carnegie Library, Washburn WI

The upper Michigan is full of spirits I stayed with a family worst then any movie or book , but it's all through the U.P a lot of old places so it's not shocking they should do another up town 45 mins from esky it's a town called Manistique some of the houses are nuts

leaving a comment for the algorithm

I ain't afraid of no ghosts. 🎃👍 Sorry I'm late to view this!

Gust Asp was once a Nickelodeon.

I'm pretty sure here in escanaba we have more churches and bars per capita than most places. 😆 🤣 😂

To Sallyvelt and Martyvelt: Do you two believe in ghosts?

🙂👍♥️

Wow, lots of relatives from Escanaba

So close to my house only a few blocks away from Ludington.

Just found yer channel ya hey der. Flatlander now but went to Elkhorn HS. You oughta go up to the town of Michi 3:17 gamme, MI in the winter. Creepy, spooky ghost townish. The name makes me think of a card game for some reason. We went up there once in March chasing the lights (no show) but checked out that town too. It was mysteriously empty and creepy.

I want to buy an old house because I just like the feel of old houses better, but it would be weird if there ends up being a ghost so maybe I should just get something newer to avoid that

Sally so did you see her ghost, hope you are feeling well from your heart 🎉

We got a werewolf and a goat cripted up here on the border of Marinette wi.

As many times as I've been to Ludington Park I have never seen anyone swim there. I don't think there's any danger it's just very cold even in summer.

Hey Marty, How much is a tornado siren worth?

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat

Hey Sally I love haunted houses. I scream once and then laugh my way through.Just remember it is all fake.

They had their chuke on

It's in the upper peninsula, not upper Michigan

Al Capone
