Our goal has always been to uplift those around us while giving everyone, including ourselves, the opportunity to truly do what they love.”

Haunted Michigan - The Orson Starr House In Royal Oak With The Guys From Flyer Paranormal
Dave, John And Jess from Flyer Paranormal came by the radio station to tell me everything they’ve learned about the Orson Starr House in Royal Oak. They’ve been investigating this home for a few years, and the tales they tell are exactly what you’d think would come out of a home well over a hundred years old. From noises, dark shadows, to footsteps on the roof and much more.
They tell me the history of the home, the craziest experiences they’ve had there, and some eerie stories from the house.
They also tell some great stories of other paranormal activity around other parts of the state as well. One story that sticks out to me is one John told about an antique shop in Caro, Michigan. A place I’m definitely going to visit.
Check out a recent piece the guys did on WXYZ TV, here. The home is open for tours as well.
Enjoy, and don’t forget to follow the podcast also. That link is here.
