A truly unique piece of history—and perhaps a local haunting—stands in a park in Boyne Falls, Michigan. Right next to the playground equipment, you’ll find an old iron jail cell dating back to the village’s wild lumbering days.
This small lockup was once necessary to temporarily hold the region’s notoriously rowdy lumberjacks. Today, however, it’s rumored that some of those former “residents” never truly left.
The old jail cell is said to be haunted. Local folklore suggests that on some nights, visitors can spot glowing orbs of light floating within the iron bars. These spectral lights are rumored to be the trapped spirits of the past inmates.
Whether the cell is genuinely haunted or just a spooky piece of local lore, it definitely serves as an interesting and chilling historical artifact right in the middle of a modern park.
