The Whitney Redux

from History Goes Bump: Ghost Tours For The Mind · host History Goes Bump

In Detroit, Michigan sits a grand home with a gabled roof, arched windows and a beautiful rose hue emanates from the facade. This upscale dining establishment was once the David Whitney House and is known today simply as The Whitney.  David Whitney, Jr. was such a successful lumber baron that people would remark that he was "the man who could out-lumber Paul Bunyan." He was one of the wealthiest men in America and he would leave his mark in Detroit in a very positive way. Some believe his spirit remains in the home he had built. There could be other ghosts here too. Join us as we explore the history and hauntings of The Whitney!
