Ghosts and Legends of Genesee Lapeer Counties

MY REVIEW

As I read the history of Flint, Michigan, much of my life flashed before my eyes. I worked for General Motors for 15 years before taking early retirement. I took some college classes at Mott Community College. I very much remember when Michael Moore’s documentary came out about General Motors, sharing its faults as they left a city, perhaps an entire state, that was build on the automotive industry.

A haunted library
A party shoppe
The Genesee County Jail (I used to go to an A&W right across the street)
Crossroads Village and Huckleberry Railroad
A movie, Fatal Desire, made from a book, Fatal Error, is about a murder in Clio. It was also on Forensic Files, Season 9, Episode 4, and I do remember watching it. It was, possibly, the first murder where the internet played a part.
A salvage yard
Hurley Hospital (I was born there)
Linden Hotel (I lived in Linden after I got married, but that was a looong time ago, so I can’t remember it)
The Game Station in Fenton
Fenton Hotel Tavern & Grille (most haunted bar in Michigan)
White Horse in Metamora
Lapeer State Home (I found the history fascinating)
And more

I traveled many familiar roads, through familiar towns, and never had a paranormal adventure. I hate to think I am missing out on something.

Ghosts and Legends of Genesee & Lapeer Counties is chockfull of sites, with information and photos to lure you in. Lots of research and documented sources.

I voluntarily reviewed a free copy of Ghosts and Legends of Genesee & Lapeer Counties by Roxanne Rhoads and Joe Schipani.
