SUMMARY:Fort Fright at Michilimackinac\n
DESCRIPTION:On October 11th and 12th\; Colonial Michilimackinac will be transformed into a haunted habitat where werewolves\, witches\, and other legendary characters roam. Operating under the name &ldquo\; Fort Fright &rdquo\; for these two nights\, the 18th-century fort and fur trading village will be open from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m.\, with admission set at $18 for families\, $6 for adults\, $3 for youth (5-17)\, and free for children 4 and under.\nThe characters that will be seen and talked about throughout the evening are drawn from a book called Were-Wolves and Will-o-the-Wisps: French Tales of Mackinac Retold\, which was authored by Dirk Gringhuis and published by Mackinac State Historic Parks in 1974. &ldquo\;The book describes the best-known legends in French-Canadian folklore\,&rdquo\; explained Brisson\, &ldquo\;like the man who can change into a wolf\, the ghostly light known as &lsquo\;will o&rsquo\; the wisp\,&rsquo\; and the good and bad goblins called &lsquo\;lutins.&rsquo\;&rdquo\; Many of these legends spread to other countries\, Brisson noted\, and some are still believed in today&mdash\;with a twist. &ldquo\;For instance\, Gringuis&rsquo\; book tells us that black cats&mdash\;now thought of as bringing bad luck&mdash\;were originally considered the best of the good lutins.&rdquo\;\nPriced at $6 a copy\, the softbound Were-Wolves and Will-o-the-Wisps will be available for purchase at the Visitor&rsquo\;s Center on the nights of the event.\nInformation is available at 231-436-4100 or on the web at www.MackinacParks.com.\n
