Bloodstained Farmhouse (Fowlerville, MI)
Built in 1852, this unassuming farmhouse outside the village of Fowlerville, Michigan hides a sinister secret. When newlyweds purchased the home in 1968, they discovered dark stains like dried blood on the wooden stairs. No matter how hard they tried, they could not get rid of the stains. Stains, however, were the least of their worries. The first time the husband stayed in the house alone, he was chased out by a ghost. The couple also claimed to see doors slam shut on their own, pictures fall from the wall, and even the vacuum cleaner move across the floor. When visitors came to the house, poltergeist activity usually followed. Also, when the couple’s child was old enough to speak, he told his parents that he could talk to the ghost and that its name was “Arnold.” If this strange activity continued after the family moved out, it is unknown.
