This week, we’re stepping through the creaking doors of one of Alpena’s most storied haunts: the historic John Lau Saloon. For more than a century, whispers have curled through its smoke-stained rafters.Tales of lingering spirits, shadowed corners, and a presence that doesn’t always stay hidden. We’re digging into eyewitness encounters, old barroom legends, and the chilling stories passed down by locals who swear the saloon never truly empties out at closing time.

So pull up a seat, listen close, and join us as we uncover the mystery of the John Lau Saloon…

Out in the woods of Algoma Twp, Michigan, a rusted bridge waits over black water. Locals call it Hell’s Bridge—and they say if you listen carefully at midnight, you’ll hear the laughter of the lost.

In this episode, your hosts take you on a twilight drive down Seven Gables Road — a little-known dead-end path tucked away in the woods guarded by an eerie red gate. The rusted threshold to legends of witchcraft, curses, and despair. We weave together local folklore, first-hand visitor stories, and the psychological undercurrents that turn a rural trail into one of Michigan’s most haunting destinations.

If you’ve ever driven a backroad near Holland or Saugatuck after dark, you might’ve heard the tales — of pale, distorted figures watching from the treeline, their heads swollen and smooth under the moonlight. Locals call them… the Melon Heads.

Are they the tragic remnants of a secret experiment gone wrong? Victims of an asylum fire who took to the forest? Or just unfortunate kids that locals made into monsters of myth?Follow us on Instagram @deadpinearchivesPlease like and subscribe to follow us as we journey further into the unexplained!Edited by Dan RaymondProduced and mixed by Neil WilloughbyTheme music by @nick_ferreri A Hiraeth Podcast Network Productionhiraethpodcastnetwork.com#DeadPinesArchive #giantgreensquirrel #cryptids #HauntedMichigan #PodcastEpisode #ParanormalPodcast #UrbanLegends #spookyseason

Today's story is just ridiculous enough that we hope it's true. We're headed to Amble, MI to investigate reports of the Giant Green Squirrel. Is it a mutant? A radioactive forest guardian? Or simply the product of a few patrons being over-served? We'll share what we found and you can decide for yourself!
