Point aux Barques was built in 1847 in a very, secluded place near the tip of the thumb along Lake Huron. Maritime author Wes Oleszewski writes in his book "Lighthouse Adventures," how he felt he captured a ghostly form pulling back the curtain in the living quarters while taking pictures of the light.

The photo spooked him out seeing he had always considered himself of the “scientific” sort.
The Ghost of a Lady...
The ghost of a 1930’s cleaning lady has been seen by a few people over the years. Wes did research and went as far as the National Archives to try and find the existence of a lady who fit the description of the ghost who has been seen, but nothing turned up.
Point aux Barques is now a museum open for tours. To learn more about how to visit this historical lighthouse, visit the Point aux Barques Lighthouse Preservation Society website.
