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 an 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.
The missus, Leona Farkle and her mum, went there for a seance, not too long ago. Fortunately I stayed home with Harvey Jr (these kind of things creep me out). They said nothing out of the ordinary happened.
Oh, the food there is absolutely the greatest!
