What is it about lighthouses that keeps spirits lingering, long after the lights have been extinguished? Perhaps it is an undying passion for these beloved beacons, or maybe it is a tragic loss of loved ones that ties these ghosts to their hallowed grounds

With more lighthouses than any other state, some of Michigan’s nearly 120 lights remain home to the restless souls of their former keepers. Join Dianna Stampfler for a online presentation where she gives the story behind a few keepers of Michigan's haunted lighthouses.


Dianna Stampfler has been researching Michigan’s lighthouses for nearly 30 years, specifically inspired by the stories of the heroic and passionate keepers who dedicated their lives to keeping the beacons burning. In 2019, she published her first book – Michigan’s Haunted Lighthouse, followed by Death and Lighthouses on the Great Lakes in 2022. Dianna is a member of the Historical Society of Michigan, Great Lakes Lighthouse Keepers Association, Great Lakes Shipwreck Historical Society and Michigan Maritime Museum, among other noted organizations. She founded her company, Promote Michigan, in 2004 and sits on the board of the West Michigan Tourist Association (where she worked when she first discovered her love of lighthouses).
