Summary
Some places don’t just embrace their haunted reputation… they awaken it.
Detroit’s iconic Whitney Restaurant may serve elegant dishes and rich history, but behind its polished exterior lives something darker—something that watches, follows, and occasionally makes itself impossible to ignore. Guests have felt a black, shadowy mass blot out the light in the old carriage house. Disembodied voices have called out names no one in the room should know. And according to tour guide Mark, acknowledging the hauntings didn’t soothe the spirits—it stirred them up.
In today’s episode of The Grave Talks, we sit down with Mark for an insider’s journey through one of Detroit’s most paranormally active mansions. From an unnerving encounter that left him face-to-face with a dark entity to the mysterious child spirit said to roam the halls, this conversation peels back the layers of a building that refuses to stay quiet.
If you’ve ever wondered what happens when history, tragedy, and attention collide… take a seat. The Whitney has a story to tell—and it’s not whispering. This is Part Two of our conversation.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to part two of our interview with Mark Ortiz about the haunted Whitney restaurant in Detroit. |
| 0:07.6 | People that want to hang out, they want to be part of what's going on there with people |
| 0:12.4 | eating and dining. And I think they want to be there. But no, nothing never, nothing negative. |
| 0:19.3 | And even the staff that we've talked to, they've never said, you know, it's been mean. |
| 0:26.2 | It's almost like they're playful if they want to, hey, I'm here, guys. |
| 0:30.1 | But nothing negative in the mansion. |
| 0:33.6 | Chera Chaucer could be a different story. |
| 0:35.8 | Why do you say that? |
| 0:38.1 | Well, while we were doing our paranormal dinner, we do twice a month, I was leading the group up to the second floor of the carriage house. |
| 0:51.7 | I had one woman with me next to me. |
| 0:55.0 | As I walked up to the main room of the second floor, the room leading into Grace's table, |
| 1:04.0 | I looked over to my left and standing in the doorway into Grace's area, I saw a black mass covering the whole door. |
| 1:15.1 | The door was already open. |
| 1:16.7 | There's a window that actually had reflects light in from the light ball out there, |
| 1:21.7 | so you can actually see into that next room, even though it's dark. |
| 1:25.3 | I saw a black mass at that door covering the whole entire window. |
| 1:30.5 | So I couldn't even see in there. And I felt this negative energy as I did when I was a child |
| 1:37.4 | living in the house that was haunted. And I didn't want to go in there. I looked over and I said to |
| 1:43.4 | her that the woman I was with, I said, do you feel that energy? I looked over, saw the darkened room, saw the darken mass. And she didn't say nothing. But I knew I had to lead to a group of 20 people into that room. So I'm going, well, here I go. I'm going to go into that room. And I didn't want to, |
| 2:03.2 | but I did. And during our filming on the travel channel, we recreate that, that moment that happened. |
| 2:13.5 | And it's, you might have to look on why actually our Facebook page actually has that episode. |
| 2:20.3 | So people that want to see that can go to our Facebook page. |
