The Historic Holly Hotel has long known to be haunted. In fact, Norman Gauthier, a professor of parapsychology
and a world famous “ghost buster,” came to the hotel in 1989 and declared the abode “loaded with spirits”.
Since then yearly visits from the GHOST HUNTERS OF SOUTHERN MICHIGAN and many other independent
groups have come with cameras and other ghost detecting devices, performing all night “investigations.”
The Holly Hotel been referred to as the most haunted historic building in Michigan, and perhaps the most
haunted in America.
The Fires: Two tragic fires consumed the Holly Hotel. The first fire,
on January 19, 1913 was followed by the second fire, exactly sixtyfive
years apart to the day and to the hour! We would like to point
out, however, that the main significance of the Holly Hotel is it’s
incredible historic value. Few buildings can boast having been a
elegant turn of century-old hotel, spanning three centuries in the
hospitality business. With many of the original architectural elements
preserved, the Historic Holly Hotel is the most important
structures in downtown Holly and proudly exists on the National
Register of Historic Places.
