I did some side work once for Lawry's. They paid me and then tipped me 2 dinners, steak and lobster tail. Took the wife there.
Anyway they have a ballroom there that I was pulling wire thru. There were no tables set up there so I asked didn't they use the room for dinner seating? Nope. Why? Because they've gotten... complaints. Pressing further the guy told me that guests have seen ghosts there. People would feel someone grabbing their ankle under the table and look and no one was there. There apparently was a late night waiter there that saw someone sitting at a table after hours, smoking a cigar. Walking up to him he told him to extinguish the cigar and he had to leave, and the man laughed at him, the waiter started walking out to get the manager and turned around before he left the room and the guy was gone. There was only 2 exits to the room and he would have had to have sneaked past him to get out of either of them. So they simply didn't use the room anymore.
There was a creepy vibe while I was working up there... even before I was told the story. I didn't see anything unusual.

I did take my wife for dinner there. Had prime rib and lobster tail on the house. Excellent martinis. Asked the waitress if she'd ever had unusual experiences there and she said that most of the staff there had. She refused to elaborate.

One time I crapped and there was nothing in the toilet.

Ghosts don't like dogs.

PRO TIP: Get one.

They're most afraid of Corgis.

I never believed in ghosts until I came face to face with one.

I love these stories but they are freaky sometimes.

There cannot be supernatural experiences. Bernsie said so. No religion, no faith, death and into the hole or cremated receptacle you go. If there is nothing more than this why in the world would someone hang around to give you all hallucinations?

Yea.....I'm kind of glad I don't remember a lot of my dreams.

My grandparents and great-grandmother lived on separate floors of a two-flat apartment they co-owned. Over the span of my lifetime, my great-grandmother and grandfather died in the same bedroom on the first floor. My grandmother all but died in the same bedroom, but was moved to the hospital days before she succumbed to cancer.

I was out of college a year after the last death, so I decided to just move into the first floor apartment. I don't believe in ghosts and fully realize it was my mind playing tricks on me, but we had multiple "things" happen:

- One night I woke up completely paralyzed. It was the midst of summer, but I was shivering from the cold. After a few minutes I closed my eyes and tried my best to catch my breath. When I finally gained control again, I realized the power was out. Still not sure if I had a seizure or what, but it never happened again.

- When my girlfriend stayed over for a few nights, there was several times we would hear the water running in the kitchen, but then we would stop hearing it as soon as we started to get out of bed. My grandmother used to always walk around with cheap sandals. Occasionally, we would hear the distinct sound those sandals make in the house. Most likely it was the neighbor upstairs, but it was freaky nonetheless.

- The TV and sound system would regularly have issues. Again, probably the wiring or something, but when we moved them out to a new house, they never experienced the same problems.

Completely separately of this instance, the Red Lion pub on Lincoln, I believe, gave off extremely weird vibes when you walked upstairs. The building is gone, I think. Then there was the supposed sightings of Dillinger's ghost across the street in the alley behind the Biograph. Never saw anything over there, but could easily see people mistaking a drunk homeless guy stumbling into the alley for a ghost.

you can see him again by coming to the next board outing
