In August 2004, she launched Promote Michigan to help market the people, places, and products of her home state. Dianna has also been researching Michigan\u2019s lighthouses for more than 10 years. In 2019, she published her book Michigan\u2019s Haunted Lighthouses through the History Press. \n\n\n\nMichigan has more lighthouses than any other state, with more than 120 dotting its expansive Great Lakes shoreline. Many of these lighthouses lay claim to haunted happenings. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDianna is currently writing a book called Death & Lighthouses of the Great Lakes: A History of Misfortune & Murder, which is due to be published in March 2022. \n\n\n\nMichigan\u2019s Big Bay Point Lighthouse stands on a high bluff on the state\u2019s Upper Peninsula, about 24 miles northwest of Marquette on Lake Superior. The light was deactivated in 1961 and the property was sold into private ownership. Later owners turned the lighthouse into a bed and breakfast inn in 1986. The owner since May 2018 is Nick Korstad. \n\n\n\nNick Korstad\n\n\n\nBefore he bought the property, Nick bought and restored Borden Flats Lighthouse in Fall River, Massachusetts, a project for which he was featured on several national TV shows and received a \u201cKeeper of the Light\u201d award from the American Lighthouse Foundation.\n\n\n\nIn the interview in this episode, Nick talks about an unusual experience at Big Bay Point Lighthouse, and he also discusses strange happenings at Borden Flats Lighthouse.
