Welcome to the spooky shores of Door County!
Stay alert! Ghosts lurk around every corner. Even the most unexpected places might be haunted by wandering phantoms.
Did you know that Door County is the home to a ghost cow and a ghost dog? Or that a ghostly high school basketball team can be heard celebrating on frozen Lake Michigan in the winter? Can you believe that a phantom ship has been sailing around the peninsula— since 1679? Pulled right from history, these ghostly tales will change the way you see Door County, and have you sleeping with the light on!
