There are a number of species of praying mantises in Michigan, some native and some introduced. I don't really know them apart, but based on its size, I think this one may be a Chinese mantis (Tenodera aridifolia sinensis). Praying Mantises are famous for cannibalism after sex, but that doesn't seem to be strictly true. This one blended well with the prairie grasses at WMU's Asylum Lake Preserve.
Crying Mary of Oak Hill Cemetery is not really a ghost story but Oak Hill
is a really nice cemetery

One of the many things I enjoy about Halloween is how it draws you into
history since so many of our spooky tales are rooted in the long ago.
