JUST FOUND THIS.. THOUGHT IT MIGHT HELP
~T~ in Flint

I had my wedding there without any incident. The house is beautiful! In all my time growing up in Flint and going to school/university in Flint, I have never known anyone to have such an experience.

I’ve been in the house a number of times on tours. (I attend college at UM Flint and it’s only across the road.) I know I, for one, have been all over that house and never seen anything the least bit odd. I’ve always been very comfortable on all my visits.
It’s very beautiful and there are lots of very cool antiques to look at and I’d recommend stopping by regardless.

I’ve been in Whaley house, after hours for work. While there I experienced a number of incidents. Toys in the childrens room moved, curtains blew (the windows were shut it was early December)and I saw a shadow. I was there to write an article about the upcoming Christmas season for a now defunct Flint area paper. The volunteer with me was not the regular publicity person so perhaps she said more than she should have about it’s history, etc. She told me that numerous volunteers, etc. have all had things happen to them there, a common feeling is being unable to catch your breath or feeling overly warm. I don’t remember the name but I do know that the Whaley’s niece, I believe, died of TB in the house. Maybe it doesn’t act up when a lot of people are present but having been there and seen what I did I can assure you it is haunted.

I go to school at Flint Central High School and my bus drives right passed that house and Central is just a couple blocks away from that house.

Is the Whaley family from Flint connected in any way to the Whaley House in San Diego?

My wife is from Flint.I heard about the Whaley house and asked if she knew where it was located. She did so we went there and looked it over.It was closed and as in the other comments it dose have tours of the old house.I did feel as though we were being watched as we looked the house over.We forgot our camera so I could not take any pictures.But I plan on revisiting this great land mark in August of this year. I will post any unusual pictures if any. I think ever one should visit this house at least once if not twice.

I had a feeling that the building was haunted wen i wuld drive past it

I have been to the Whaley mansion on a school field trip, i never really felt a pressence but it did feel creepy. You are aloud to go inside with a tour guide. It has all the historical things that people used back then. There were funerals in the living room. E-mail me for more info. Dreamdev96@yahoo.com

I stopped in at Whaley House last week to get details of the “Hauntings” I spoke with an employee who has worked there for several years. He said that he has never experienced anything, but that some visitors have reported feeling rather creeped out in one of the upstairs rooms.

In the ealy 1890′s a man who ws married to Mrs. Whaley’s sister, came there to live after his wife passed away. He became very dispondent, and tried to committ suicide by drinking mercury. He after some time, he appeared to be on the road to recovery, but died, none the less. It is his room that is said to be haunted.

But an even “more haunted” house in Flint is the Wright Building. It is an old Victorian style house that is said to be hauneted by several members of the Wright family. This location is now an office building for several lawyers. I stopped in there last year and spoke to several og the employees who related things that they have seen.

when i found out a few weeks ago that there was a haunted whaley manision i cannot stop searching it and looking at stuff about it i so want to go there i have told my dad and everybody about it and they are all curious what it is like.i wanna go there is it still open for tours and stuff if so how much does it cost and stuff.

Although there is access to this building, you can not just walk right in because the building is an orphanage. It does not surprise me that there is some type of paranormal activity because of alot of the children housed there has some form of emotional issues. And alot of the staff working there are known to be abusive towards the children.

Yes, The Whaley Mansion is in a nice part of town and is haunted. The Whaley Children’s Home is a completely different place and is in a kind of rough neighborhood.

I’ve been in the Whaley House a couple of times for different events. I stole away both times and went up to the second and third floors and both times got the eerie feeling of being watched the whole time I was up there. Didn’t see anything, but there were places you’d walk through and the temperature would drop 10 degrees or more. Spooky!

I took my son here last summer as a sort of paranormal investigation. When we got there the house was closed. They only have certain hours for tours. The gentleman was nice enough to let us go through on our own. It is a beautiful home. My son took a million pictures and we did feel an odd presence upstairs and in the downstairs parlor.

I have been to the Whaley Mansion many times. This is different from the Whaley House, which is the orphange. You can get a tour of the Whaley Mansion, or rent it for a small wedding or luncheon. It is a beautiful home, but I have never experienced anything paranormal there.
