When U.S. 27 was first being constructed something happened to all of the road workers that can’t be explained and they all disappeared, according to the story. Every October some builders return to the site where they disappeared to wander. “They wander looking for answers to the same simple questions. . .Why us? and When will it end?” The terror actually began nine years ago when Corey Fowler and his family decided to open a haunted house along the highway now designated as U.S. 127. “This is our ninth year doing it and basically it’s my core family, my mom and dad, wife, two sisters and their husbands,” Fowler said. “Basically it started with just them but now we got a huge staff and we’ve got two haunted attractions and a bunch of events out back.” The two haunted attractions are called “Insanity” and “Entanglement.”

Men's Hoops Opens Practice on Friday Night
via CMU Chippewas
Year six of the Ernie Zeigler era gets underway for Central Michigan University basketball this Friday, Oct. 14, when the Chippewas hold their first official practice of the season at 7 p.m. “I think the players have been chomping at the bit to get going,” Zeigler said. “Our individual workouts this fall progressed well with a lot of teaching on both sides of the ball. You’ll see a big change with us defensively this year in both schemes and language. “Now that we can get into a regular practice routine, we will be able to focus on our new defense and the different variables in a 4-on-4 or 5-on-5 setting.” CMU returns seven letterwinners, including two starters, from last year’s squad that finished 10-21 overall and 7-9 in the Mid-American Conference. “The most impressive thing about this team so far as been the chemistry,” Zeigler said. “All 16 of the players are working together, pushing each other and doing their best to get better every day. They are spending time together off the court. It has been refreshing.”

via CMU Chippewas
After leaving a void in the community since its doors closed in 2007, a piece of the long-time Mount Pleasant fine-dining staple The Embers has returned thanks to a partnership between Central Michigan University and former owners Clarence Tuma and his son Jeff. In recognition of the profound impact The Embers had on the community, signature items based on famous The Embers menu will be offered at the concession stands at Kelly/Shorts Stadium during home CMU football games throughout this year and the foreseeable future. "We're excited that the Tuma family was receptive to us bringing a piece of that into our stadium, and giving alumni and friends who come to our game an opportunity to think back and recall the great past and history of The Embers and their connection to it," said CMU Athletics Director Dave Heeke, who worked with the Tuma family to make the partnership happen.

Car-train crash victims identified; neighbor who lost nephew at crossing wants stop sign installed
via The Morning Sun
Beverly House knows the railroad crossing at Denver Road north of Rosebush as well as anyone, and fears it more. House wants the yield sign marking the tracks replaced with a stop sign. She lives just west of the tracks, and her nephew was critically injured and later died after a train hit his pickup truck in 1994. Monday night, she and her husband saw the latest crash scene before emergency crews arrived. “We were coming home and I looked down the tracks and all we could see was orange,” she said. “There was a young man yelling ‘help, help, help.’” In Monday’s crash, a 20-year-old Rosebush woman failed to yield and was critically injured when a train hit her GMC Envoy.
