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!

We're heading out onto the dark waters of Lake Erie to explore a legend older than the Loch Ness Monster. Sightings of this massive, serpent-like beast date back to the 1700s, with stories describing a 30 to 40-foot gray-skinned creature gliding through the fog, just beneath the surface. So grab a flashlight and stay close… we're diving into the eerie legend of Bessie.

In this episode, we uncover the rich and eerie history of the Holly Hotel in Holly, Michigan — a Victorian-era landmark that survived two devastating fires exactly 65 years apart. Once a bustling stop for railroad travelers, the hotel is now better known for its chilling hauntings and ghostly residents. From the lingering scent of cigar smoke believed to belong to founder John Hirst, to the playful spirit of a young red-haired girl in the kitchen, the supernatural activity here is as strong as its history. Tune in as we explore the legends, sightings, and eerie sounds that make the Holly Hotel one of Michigan’s most haunted places.
