Podcast Description
From Paradise to Hell, Haunted Mitten has all the
history and hauntings in the state of Michigan

Welcome!
We're glad you're here! Haunted Mitten began in 2019, with two long-time friends in a coffee shop lobbing ideas back and forth. We knew we wanted to write and talk about our passion for the past twenty years: the paranormal. But how to make it special, both to us and to a larger audience?
Well, we should write what we know! And we know Michigan. And, as it turns out, Michigan has a very haunted history!
So join us as we discover deep Michigan history, spooky hauntings, UFO sightings, cults, serial killers, and more!
