The Landmark Inn in Marquette, Michigan, is a historic hotel built in 1930 on the shores of Lake Superior. The hotel's most famous ghost is said to be a former librarian who loved the hotel so much that she requested her favorite room upon her deathbed. According to the legend, she died in the hotel, and her spirit has remained there ever since. The haunted room, known as the Lilac Room, is the site of most reported activity. Guests have described waking to find a spectral woman standing at the foot of their bed, dressed in early 20th-century clothing. Books and personal items left on nightstands are found rearranged in the morning, and some guests report their luggage being unpacked and clothes neatly folded by an unseen hand. Staff members have heard the rustle of pages turning in the library area when no one is present. The hotel overlooks Lake Superior, and the cold, foggy atmosphere of the Upper Peninsula lends an additional layer of eeriness to the guest experience. The Landmark Inn embraces its haunted reputation and has been featured in Michigan travel guides as one of the state's premier haunted destinations.
