Spooky season is finally here, and what better way to kick off a season dedicated to screams and Halloween scenes than by diving into the most haunted place in all of Michigan?

Wether it be an old cemetery, abandoned asylum, haunted house, or horror movie scene, something about the most haunted place in Michigan is so disturbing that it landed on a list of the absolute creepiest places to visit across America.

If you've been looking for a haunted site to visit with your friends and family this spooky season, look no further than this bone-chilling location.

According to a list compiled by Thrillist, the most haunted place in Michigan is South Manitou Island. This spooky location is the site of a mass grave created after a ship of "cholera-stricken passengers stopped at the island."

Here's what Thrillist had to say about the most haunted site in all of Michigan:

"16 miles offshore from Lake Michigan's Leelanau Peninsula, South Manitou is home to 300-foot sand dunes, deserted shores, and empty campgrounds. And with respect to the abandoned buildings of Detroit and Flint, it’s about as creepy as you can get in Michigan. One legend suggests that a ship of cholera-stricken passengers stopped at the island, and sailors buried them in a mass grave while some were still alive. If that alone doesn’t stir you to set sail to the island, there are two cemeteries, a cedar forest where unbodied voices are often heard, and off the coast is the shipwreck of the SS Francisco Morazan, where a young boy is rumored to have died after an attempt at exploring it on his own. Fair warning to all who seek refuge."
