Geocache Description:

This cache is part of the Haunted Hollow 8 event and is located just off one of the many trails located in Sleepy Hollow State Park.


Most of the trails are well groomed and hard packed making a bike a great way to get to the caches in the area.  A Michigan Passport is required for entry to the park and may be purchased there.  Keep in mind during the hunting season to be aware of hunters in the area.  Hunting is allowed from September 15th until April 1st each year.

 

Fort Shelby Doubletree Suites Hotel

Home  > Hotels and Inns >  Fort Shelby Doubletree Suites Hotel

This Doubletree branch is known by locals as the Fort Shelby Hotel, as that was its original name since 1916. The building sat unoccupied for many years, and according to the local rumor mill, a homeless man named Al who used it as a temporary sleeping spot met his demise there when a plumbing pipe burst and he got mired down in feet of sewage. His bones were found in the muck years later. But Doubletree bought the building and spent $90 million on renovations, and Al seems to enjoy his fancy new digs. His apparition has been seen walking the halls and in the lobby.
