I’m skeptical about the existence of ghosts, and the fact this company is using the PR Newswire to spread the word about this doesn’t help.
But Cigars and Stripes, a comedy club and lounge on 6715 W. Ogden Ave., aka Route 66, in Berwyn, Ill., claims it’s a site of plenty of paranormal activity and (to no surprise) invites people to come down and take a look.
According to the news release:
Multiple accounts of glasses falling off shelves, the phone lifting up by itself, bottles falling to the ground and martini shakers flipping in the air have been reported by several customers.
With a long list of stories that include three possible ghosts in the building, customers have also reported accounts of a shadowy figure walking down the hallway at the rear of the lounge. One described seeing the shadowy figure “scoot down the hall and around the corner.”
Cigars and Stripes even has a separate page on its Web site of videos and articles about its ghosts, including an “Infrared Ghost Cam” to monitor the building’s most haunted spot.
After that on the news release is an invitation to have a few cocktails and a listing of drink specials. There’s no word on whether some of these apparitions resemble pink elephants.
I don’t know about pink elephants
Don’t know about pink elephants either. I gotta admit though that the video testimonials are petty interesting. They seem real to me at least.
Its all fabrication to keep a fading business alive. All the testimonials are set up. If you don’t see ghosts after drinking the expensive beer maybe you will see thru the owner.
I hear what you’re saying about the owner, I met him… seems to me that guy’s a total skeptic. As he puts it, he’s about done spending the big dough on these jackass ghost hunters, trying to find an explanation. However, from what I’ve read two people died in the building and one of them was a cop of some sort. Not for nothing but in one of those testimonials the guy looked pretty spooked to me.
