The Whitney in Detroit makes the list of most terrifying places, where ghostly apparitions, eerie noises, and the elevator operating without passengers are some of the reported phenomena. LoveExploring says:

If you're after a side of the supernatural with your slap-up dinner, head to The Whitney, a historic mansion and restaurant in Detroit. It was the home of wealthy lumber baron David Whitney Jr from 1894 – he died at the property, as did his first and second wives – before becoming a hospice for tuberculosis patients. Unsurprisingly, then, it's said that the place is haunted, with reports of ghostly faces in the windows and an elevator that has a mind of its own.

The Whitney embraces its spooky reputation by offering paranormal-themed events where you can 'dine with the spirits' and drink with them too at The Ghost Bar, also a nod to the supernatural.

Take a trip and see for yourself if The Whitney Hotel in Detroit is truly one of the most terrifying places in America.
