Spooky adventures on Mackinac Island

From the Toronto Sun, Travel USA: Spooky adventures on Mackinac Island
Mission Point Resort on Mackinac Island is now taking bookings for its fall getaway specials including the spooktacular “Ghost Hunter'' package.

The new “Ghost Hunter'' package, which starts at $159 per person, is a savings of more than $100.

The package includes two nights lodging, ferry tickets for two, breakfast each morning, one dinner for two and a Haunts of Mackinac ghost tour for two.

For an additional $30, guests can add an extra ghost hunt utilizing high-tech spirit hunting equipment.

Mission Point was featured earlier this year on the popular Ghost Hunters, where the team visited the island and resort for a ghostly investigation.

The account of their bizarre experiences was featured in a one-hour episode aired in march and called “Frozen in Fear.''

Now you can walk the same footsteps as the Ghost Hunters and experience a similar investigation including the resort theatre and sound stage where a spirit named Harvey has been seen wandering the hotel.

The late Bruce Bradley of Dover Township assisted in the building of the theatre and sound stage several years ago.

Other packages available this fall are Mission Possible 11, a three-day/two-night package starting at $169 and Mission Point Romance package starting at $179.

The fall Pure Michigan package starts at $129 per night and the pooch package starts at $159, a savings of more than $100.

All packages are valid through Oct. 23.

Mission Point is the island's largest and most diverse resort. It has 243 rooms and is nestled on the southeast shore of the island overlooking Lake Huron.

The 18-acre resort features 38,000-square-feet of meeting space, movie theatre, putting course, observation tower and historic museum, four restaurants, heated outdoor pool, spa and fitness centre and Kids' Island Club.
