The Whitney (reputed haunt at a preserved mansion)

The Whitney is a restored 1894 Romanesque mansion now operating as a restaurant and historic house. It was built by lumber baron David Whitney Jr. and is a well-known Detroit landmark. Local lore frequently cites the building as haunted, with patrons and staff reporting unexplained footsteps, apparitions, and objects moving. Claims of hauntings are part of local tradition but are disputed and not scientifically verified.
