South Lyon, Michigan

This is about the South Lyon Hotel in South Lyon Michigan.

It was built in 1867, but has previously been a cemetery. There was several bodies still under the building at that time.
A fire blazed the building to the ground in 1977, and stayed burned to the ground until the late 1980's when it was transformed into the restaurant it is today. There are many reports from employee's and customers. Shadow figures on staircases, a full apparition appearing and scratching an employee in the upstairs lady's bathroom, banging on walls, chairs and plants moved, TV's turning on and off by themselves, and a little girl making people come near her. People also say that the basement/cellar is haunted too.
A ghost hunter group has caught evidence in this place (link at the end).

I have had my own experience in the South Lyon Hotel myself, but no one seems to believe my story. One time, I was sitting upstairs with my family. I had to go to the bathroom so I entered the upstairs girls bathroom. After I was done, I left the stall and went to the sinks. Behind me, I heard the stall door open slowly. So I watched it in the mirror. Seconds later, it closed very fast, scaring me. I quickly washed my hands and got out of there as fast as I could.
No one really believes me when I tell that story. It was real and I still am scared whenever I go into that bathroom.
