INVESTIGATION REPORT

    THE HOLLY HOTEL IN MICHIGAN

ANNUAL HALLOWEEN PARTY/INVESTIGATION   2002

WEATHER=COOL, 55F, PARTLY CLOUDY   # INVESTIGATORS=18

THIS WAS OUR 1ST ANNUAL HALLOWEEN PARTY & INVESTIGATION. WE ALL HAD DINNER, A TRIVIA QUIZ, CAKE, AND WE WERE GIVEN A PRIVATE TOUR OF THE OLD HOTEL-TURNED RESTAURANT. THE FOOD WAS GOOD, THE STAFF WAS NICE, AND THE GHOSTS WERE ALMOST EVERYWHERE. THE HOTEL WAS BUILT IN 1891, AND STANDS ON THE SITE OF MICHIGAN'S 1ST RAILROAD JUNCTION. IT'S LISTED IN THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES OF THE U.S. THE ATMOSPHERE IS QUAINT, AND HAS BEEN KEPT AS CLOSE TO THE ORIGINAL DECORATION STYLE AS POSSIBLE.  VERY ELEGANT & CHARMING, WITH A DELIGHTFUL STAFF.
