Katrina Pierce was writing the daily specials on her menu board as she had done every day since Feb. 19 when a man behind her whispered, “What are you doing?”
Pierce turned around. No one was there.
She dropped the marker and ran into the back kitchen.
It wasn’t the first instance in her restaurant that she can’t quite explain, so she called in the professionals at Ghost Hunters Inc., a group of Pennsylvania residents who investigate paranormal activity.
A team of eight Ghost Hunters investigators will spend Saturday night attempting to contact the spirits Pierce believes are present throughout her restaurant.
Pierce bought the Riverfront Bar and Lounge at 338 S. Front St. in Wrightsville in November 2008. She gutted the top two floors and remodeled the first floor where the bar is. Since then, she’s noticed strange things happening.
“Right before we opened, I came in to make sure the fridges were conditioned,” she said. “I walked into the kitchen and heard loud, organ music coming from the bar. I looked out in the bar and it stopped.”

The unknown is attracting more and more paranormal investigators to one corner of the Valley these days.
Whether you believe in ghosts, spirits, or an alternate universe, what many are reportedly experiencing in Tempe may send goose bumps down your spine.
Some well known businesses in the heart of the city are actually paranormal hot spots.
“Do we have energy and aspects of ghosts out here? Well, yes,” said Paranormal Investigator Lindsay Brown.
Have you ever been in the second floor dining room at Casey Moore’s Oyster House in Tempe? One corner of the dining room is said to be the exact location of a murder. The victim is known to appear often, letting her presence be known.
“She was killed right here, her bed was right in front of this window and many people have seen her walking past the window and even jiggling the door handles up here,” Brown said.
Employees are first to back up the spooky claims, but there are other well known Tempe restaurants feeling the same eerie presence.
“It just happened a couple of weeks ago,” said Casey Moore’s employee David Schliefer. “There were two of us, we heard footsteps upstairs and I thought somebody was going into the office with a set of keys then I came up the stairs and there was nobody here.”

COUNCIL staff are refusing to work after dark — because they fear their building is haunted by GHOSTS.
Terrified day centre staff say unplugged printers have started printing, computer keyboards have been suddenly overturned and furniture has been mysteriously moved.
The workers even noticed the smell of BLUEBELLS drifting through rooms as objects fly off walls.
Council bosses running the Wintern Day Centre in Fishguard, Pembrokeshire, today announced they will investigate the spooky goings on.
Staff at the seaside town centre believe their building is haunted by the spirits of two maids who used to live in the attic — and hanged themselves after both fell pregnant.
The tragedy is said to have happened when bluebells bloomed, and the building now smells eerily of the flowers.
One worker said: “It’s quite true, it’s a very scary situation – staff are not willing to work there at night at all.

Opening in 1904, Norwich State Hospital expanded over 100 acres, catering to ninety-five patients. As the years progressed, the number of patients in this asylum grew calling for building expansions; an administration building, three patient buildings, three cottages for physicians, a carpenter and maintenance shop, a main kitchen, garage, laboratory, staff house, an employees’ club house and the inebriate farm and the Colony had been established by 1913.
The need for space continued to grow with the additions of fifteen new buildings. By 1930, patient numbers reached to over 2,000. Tubercular patients were housed between 1931 and 1939 in one patient building called Seymour which led to the closure of the “Pines” buildings. More additions were built. However, during World War II, the nursing staff dwindled. While new buildings were being constructed, old ones met their demise. It’s population peaked in 1950 at 3,000 and was considered a working town.
The hospital was used for housing and treating not only the mentally insane, but also geriatric patients and those chemically dependent. Treatments ranged from heavy medication and lobotomies to mechanical restraints and “hydrotherapy”. The hospital officially closed in 1996.
Today, a large number of gothic-style architectural brick buildings snakes around nine hundred acres of Connecticut woods, most connected by underground tunnels that also house rooms along their paths. Norwich State Hospital’s fate is unsure as there have been talks of amusement parks or museums. However, none disrupt the stories of its haunted status.
