The Osceola Inn is located in the historic downtown section of Reed City in Michigan. In the 1800s Reed City was a growing village located by the Hersey River and at a railroad junction making it a great place for people to do business. There were logging and petroleum industries. Reed City grew and became incorporated as a city in 1875. Businesses began setting up shops in 1870. The King Brothers started The King Hotel and Saloon which they ran until it was sold in the early 1900s. After which it was renamed The Osceola Hotel and changed to The Osceola Inn in the 1940s.
The West Michigan Ghost Hunters Society has given the report of the following entities found at The Osceola Inn:
- a couple Josephine and Andrew stayed at the hotel in the early 1900s. Their room was on the 3rd floor. Apparently Andrew would beat Josephine but be as it may she still can't leave him even today.
- The 2nd floor is haunted by Peter who was a frequent visitor during the 1940s. He was a gambler who failed miserably. When push came to shove he killed himself in his room.
- On the 1st floor in the bar you may meet Audrey. She lived at the hotel with her children and died here of an unknown illness.
- Besides Peter the 2nd floor also offers Louisa who died when she fell from the 2nd floor stairway.
- And there is also a man who died of a heart attack while sleeping in this room.
There are other entities as well but have not been specifically identified. Paranormal investigators have done various investigations at The Osceola Inn and are planning to do even more. One of the most interesting things picked up was the barking of a ghost dog and a female ghost voice saying "Shanta!" and then slapping her leg as if calling the dog. Tim a paranormal investigator has seen a female apparition in white go across the lobby area and disappear into a wall. His brother Harold Harte also saw a face of a woman in a window in one of the rooms on the 2nd floor.
So take a trip, come and visit who knows who you might meet.
On a hill in the Heritage Hill section of Grand Rapids, Michigan is a private residence called The Phillips Mansion. It is a two story antebellum mansion built in Georgian Revival style. Four large pillars in the front make it look grand. Built in 1864 the house had eight rooms and the kitchen was in a shed in the back. In 1880 James T. Phillips owner of the Grand Rapids Clock and Mantel Company bought the mansion. The Phillps family lived there for 32 years. Afterwards it was bought by Dr, John F. Burleson in 1912 who lived there until a mysterious fire in 1934 drove them out. One of his daughters was a spiritualist who held seances there. During the 1940s the mansion became a nursing home for elderly women for about 12 years. In 1952 the place was transformed into apartments but in 1973 when two women renting an apartment on the second floor had some scary experiences with entities the mansion was again sold into private hands. Ward Paul and Chuck Schwander restored it to its original glory.
At least three ghosts have made their presence known. In 1972 Miss Schwander and her roommate felt that the mansion would be a nice, quiet place to live and rented a two bedroom 2nd floor apartment. Awaking one night Miss Schwander was startled to see near the room's ceiling a large head of a young, blond man smiling at her. He slowly moved across the ceiling and then disappeared. Another night she was awakened by a bright and blinding light like a giant floodlight. Terrified she ran to her roommate but when they returned the light was gone. Both women stayed there until 1973 when early one morning Miss Schwander felt a strong presence near her. She turned her head and saw lying next to her a very, old wrinkled woman who looked as if she had been sick for quite awhile. The entity looked like a real person but was deathly white. She was breathing noisily through her mouth and her face was contorted in agony. Screaming Miss Schwander again ran to get her roommate. Returning they only saw the impression of the old woman's head on the pillow. This sent the roommate's packing and informing people of their experiences.
Because of the publicity about the haunting the mansion was sold to two men who weren't bothered by the idea of ghosts. They found it amusing to be living among the entities and restored the mansion tearing out the apartment partitions. Shortly after moving in Chuck sleeping in one of the upstairs bedrooms awoke and heard footsteps on the staircase going from the first floor to the second. The step became louder and louder and stopped outside his bedroom door. When he opened the door no one was there.
Ward felt someone jerk his big toe while lying in bed reading. After renovation things started jumping. There were thumping, vibrations and moving objects and furniture with no rational explanations. Guest who have stayed the night have been kept awake by banging, heavy male footsteps and the sound of furniture being dragged across the floor in the attic.
Over the years guests have seen glowing images floating around the bedrooms. Each room is equipped with a large whistle and a huge glass of water which supposedly will keep ghosts at bay. Ghosts are said to be afraid of water. Vibrations have shaken pictures off of walls and contents of waste baskets have been thrown all over the room. One night when the furnace failed Ward and Chuck slept in the living room in sleeping bags by the fireplace and were kept awake by an unseen presence walking around them all night. During a dinner party one night there was the sound of a shattering explosion bringing all the guests quickly up the stairs but nothing appeared disturbed. They however did see a misty apparition float up the stairs after them and disappear at the top of the staircase. Three years after moving in Ward and Chuck were in the living room when an older gentleman appeared to them standing next to the fireplace. He was dressed in an Edwardian-style brown tweed coat and was in solid form. When Ward went toward him he melted into the air. Some evenings after this entities first appearance Ward saw him again while standing on the 2nd floor landing. He saw the gentleman in the entry hall dressed in his brown tweed suit with a cane under his arm and a bowler hat on his head. The gentleman looked u pat Ward tipped his hat and smiled pleasantly and then walked straight through the front door. The gentleman has been identified as James T. Phillips who loved the mansion and died there in 1912.
Being such a large house the upkeep of the mansion wasn't cheap and Ward and Chuck rented a large 2nd floor room to a friend Rick who was an art student. He used the room as a bedroom and art studio. There was a presence in this room that resented having someone there but eventually excepted them. One night after Rick had turned off the lights and gotten into bed something slammed his door shut. When he got up to look at the door he found it open by 3 inches and there was no draft that could have reopened the door. Working on his art projects he would be disturbed by loud noises coming from the attic. Once Rick lost patience and shouted „Shut up!" A second later his red paint cup rose quickly in the air and dumped its contents on his head. While wiping the paint off his painting board arose by itself and whacked him on the back. It appeared that an unseen presence was upset about Rick's rude behavior. Afterwards he controlled his temper.
Early one morning about 3 AM Rick awoke to hear a tapping noise coming from inside his chest of drawers. Turning on the light he investigated and finding nothing returned to bed. Then the tapping started again. Not wanting to continue the game he left the drawer open and the light on. From that moment on he did this every night. Then on a hot, still summer night Rick was reading in bed. His 3 Siamese cats were at his feet. Suddenly he felt a cold chill flowing on him. His cats woke up abruptly. They all looked simultaneously at the same spot above his door calmly turning their heads in unison as they watched something not seen move across the ceiling of the room.

Using Fireplace Accessories To Enhance Your Home Decor
The fireplace can be a great focal point in your home. Enhancing this focal point with accessories is a great way to add to the warmth of your home. When adding accessories, many people think of decorative items such as flower vases or frames or candles.
Another idea that can add a great statement is a fireplace screen. These fireplace additions come in many different sizes and colors and materials. Some of the most popular materials in recent times are pewter, black wrought iron or antique brass. Fireplace screens also come in a variety of styles, such as classic, contemporary or decorative. Putting time and thought into what type of fireplace screen would look best with the style of décor in the home can be very rewarding.
Although many people think of fireplace tools as purely functional, these useful tools can also add a decorative touch. They also come in a variety of colors and materials and styles. Again, the style of the home will determine the type of fireplace tools that should be selected. For instance, a pewter fireplace tool set would complement the contemporary home. A polished brass tool set would look better in a classic style home. Black wrought iron, on the other hand, could enhance the fireplace in any home, from modern to country.
Andirons can also be a nice addition to the overall look of a fireplace. Traditionally, these were simply used to keep logs that were settling during the burning process from spilling out of the firebox. They now, however, serve a decorative purpose as well. As with fireplace screens and fireplace tool sets, andirons can be found in many different styles.
When it comes to decorating your fireplace, it is nice to have a matched set. Many fireplace accessories are coordinated to help create a finished and refined look to your home décor. If the home has a contemporary feel, a nice idea would be a floral fireplace screen with matching floral tool set and log holder. For the more traditional look, a cut glass fireplace screen with matching glass fireplace tool set would make a great statement. A matching black wrought iron fireplace screen set would be a beautiful addition to any style home. An example would be attractive matching scrollwork on each piece of the set.
If you do not have a particular style in your home, do not despair. Choosing the right style for your fireplace, after all, is simply a matter of taste. If you like certain styles and tend to gravitate towards them, then go with your instinct and choose something that you will love to look at every day.
Your fireplace doesn’t have to be a dull and drab, forgotten area of your home. Make it a beautiful centerpiece that showcases your unique style. You can use your creativity to combine different looks and make it completely your own. Or you can take advantage of the matched sets to create that sophisticated look. The possibilities are endless, so have fun making your fireplace the center of attention in your home.

Western Red Cedar Log Home Photos
Log homes are a very visual product. After exhibiting at home shows and talking with customers on the phone, it is very evident that everyone wants to see photos. One of our most popular galleries on our website is the Western Red Cedar log home photos. With the deep color to the logs, part of its natural beauty, it is no wonder that people want to view what various homes and features look like.
Western Red Cedar is a very versatile wood species. With its durability is has been used for roof shakes, siding shakes, log railing, channel siding, and door and window trim. In the realm of log homes it is used for both milled log homes and handcrafted.
For post and beam or timber frame homes it can be used for smaller ones. Due to the structural strength limitations the larger square footage usually associated with homes in the United States Western Red Cedar is not typically used for these two styles of homes. In Japan post and beam homes are commonly built from Western Red Cedar. In this island country most of the log or timber homes are used for weekends so the square footage is usually fairly small.
When browsing through photo galleries of log homes here are a few things to watch for. In closer up photos take a look at the end joints. This is were one log ends and the next begins with in the log wall. Higher quality homes have log ends which line up and meet smoothly. Lower quality joints have a ledge where the logs join. If there is a photo of a log wall under construction, take a look from the top to see what type of joinery is used. Some logs are simply cut and slid together. Other times there is a slot notched into the end of each log and a wooden or vinyl spleen is slid down into the joint. And other times the joint is cut with finger joinery where the ends of the logs are pushed together and the fingers intertwine one with another.
For handcrafted log homes some joints are done as described above. Other times the log home company will boast of 'full length wall logs'. This means that there is no end joints within the walls. Instead corners and intersecting interior walls are used to meet where the logs end. With this style log lengths can be up to fifty feet.
Another thing to look closely at is the corners. The most common corner styles are butt and pass, dovetail, corner posts, or full saddle notch. A butt and pass corner is where the end of every other log is visible on the corner. The dovetailed corner is just like a furniture drawer that is dovetailed. The triangular or diamond corners are intertwined. A corner post design has no protruding logs. Instead a vertical post is mounted to the corner. And the full saddle notched corner shows the end of every log on both sides of the corner. Corners are very important for helping to seal the home. A tight corner means that no air or light is passing through. Saddle notched corners are typically the most air tight of all the styles.
Photos of specifically red cedar homes display the color variation between the outer sapwood and the heart of the logs. This contrast is very appealing. Pictures of milled red cedar show how little the heart of the cedar checks or cracks. In fact some machine cut homes will not even have any checks showing.
So if you come across a website that shows a collection of Western Red Cedar log home photos all together be sure to pay attention to the corners and the joinery. Compare homes company to company on a factual basis, not just on who hired the most creative photographer. For log homes, it is all in the detail.

Recent decades have witnessed a renewed interest in preserving and building new log houses. The restored and handcrafted northern log houses featured in this book are some of the most beautiful in the world.The book also includes a how-to guide for historic and modern building techniques. Log Houses details excellent examples of the five main construction methods: Hand-hewn with dovetail cornersLong log or Scandinavian scribeStackwall or cordwoodFrench-influenced piece-on-pieceVertical log or stockadeExpansive color photographs capture not only the magnificent exteriors but also the beautifully-designed interior rooms and surrounding grounds. |

Wooden Houses $6.99 With evocative text by Judith Miller and inspiring photographs by James Merrell, "Wooden Houses" explores the decorative potential of wood in our homes. Wooden houses range from Midwestern prairie clapboard houses with wraparound porches to wood-framed barns converted into airy living spaces. Wood has always played a part in construction, architecture, and interior decoration and has long been valued for its practical benefits. Its insulating qualities, for example, made it an obvious choice for Scandinavian homes, and so the familiar log houses came into existence. But the vast decorative potential of wood has ensured its continued use, as evidenced by 19th-century houses with elaborately carved gables and bargeboards. Indoors, wood surrounds us in many ways. Structural elements such as oak-beamed and vaulted ceilings become features in their own right. Wood can also be used as further embellishment in the form of beautiful paneling or carved and turned banisters and staircases, and in original furniture designs. Whether it is left in its natural state to show the variety of grains and depths of colors, or used as a canvas for paint techniques, wood is a beautiful resource. |

Mayfair Group - The Usa Housing Market Has Never Been A Better Time To Invest
Sales of US homes rose for the third consecutive month in June 09, suggesting that Property investors are flocking back to pick fruitful deals as the US property clock has wound prices back to the same levels as in 2003, according to financial researchers Standard and Poor's.
‘'The US Housing marketing is bottoming out and now really is the time to invest. We have come across some super bank owned properties, which yield as much as 25 % rental on a three bedroom house that can be picked up for under £25,000, in Detroit which include costs of property Aquistion, all legal costs, property refurbishment and placing of a tenant. Prices, are staring to rise due the massive amount of overseas investment. Last month over 2,800 properties sold in Detroit mainly to overseas investors ‘'
‘'The June sales number appeared to confirm the stabilisation, down a mere 0.2% from a year earlier.''
‘Prices also showed signs of stabilising. The average price of existing home sales was 181,600 in June, 15% lower than a year ago but up from 174,700 in May according to NAR.
‘'I think there's going to be the best opportunity to make money in the last 20 years in real estate in the US. “ Now that the meltdown has happened, the new emerging market is the United States,” Tom Shapiro, president of real estate investment firm GoldenTree InSite Partners, said at the Reuters Global Real Estate Summit in New York.
The company are looking to sink up to $1 billion in to property, and are ready to return to the US market and take advantage of the rock bottom prices.
Areas like Detroit have fallen by as much as 60 % making Detroit a very popular place to invest with overseas investors. ‘ CNN recently voted Detroit as one of the top places to invest in the US, due to rock bottom prices and high rental yields. We recently sold one property to an investor which had sold in 2007 for $180,000. A typical investment package we would offer would be for a round £24,500, with a tenant in place paying from $800 - £900 pm or higher in some cases. This investment will pay for itself in 4 years, making this a great income or pension. A lot of our investors have previously held funds in high interest bank accounts. The bank interest has become so low they have come to us because of the high 25 % rental yields offering a huge return on investment. ‘
Though with prices starting to rise and Obama keen to stop the Foreclosure market, these amazing bargains may not be around for much longer.
