Seul Choix Point Lighthouse (pronounced sis-shwa, translates into only choice) in Michigan was named by the French. If
boats were headed to the Straits of Mackinac, Seul Choix was the only way place. Seul Choix was placed into service in 1892
but the tower was rebuilt and wasn't completed until 1895. The tower is now 78 feet and 9 inches tall and the beacon is visible
for 13 miles.
Joseph Willie Townshend was keeper of the light from 1902-1910 when he died in the house. He was embalmed in the basement
and had his wake in the house as well. He smoked cigars often, although his wife never allowed him to do so in the house.
Long after Joesph's death a table was found in 4 pieces in the basement. It was brought upstairs and put back together
and that's when they say the activity began.
Lights go on and off by themselves, footsteps, cigar smoke, bells ring, voices are heard, doors open and close, someone
is heard climbing the stairwell to the light, shadows are seen, and feelings of being watched have all been
reported within the house. A bible the sits in the dining room seems to move the pages on its own. A mirror in the room the
Joesph died in shows images. Silverware and other things on the table move on their own along with one chair.
