The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The image stones were thought to embody the spirit of Chief Shinggabaw, who promised to return there after death. After they were stolen by a rival tribe, the Great Spirit put them back and destroyed the raiding party. Later, a white fisherman stole them, using them to anchor fishing nets, and they are now somewhere in Lake Huron.
In 1973, the community was the site of the Great Michigan Pizza Funeral. The factory was located at 6050 Gull Road, Osineke, Michigan.
