0:00
When a man goes to fulfill his dream, what price is he willing
0:04
to pay? Is it worth losing everything he
0:07
loves? Is it worth awakening and old
0:10
evil, a force that seems determined to attack the living
0:15
and overtake the week? This story is a strange and
0:18
unique tale of a place where a portal to hell is said to exist.
0:23
This is the untold story of the demonic Bobby Mackey's music
0:28
world. Located in Wilder, KY and This
0:31
is not a story you want to experience with The Lights Off.
0:47
Our story begins in Wilder, KY, where an abandoned Music Hall
0:52
now sits off the banks of the Licking River.
0:55
Country singer Bobby Mackey visits the property with a real
0:58
estate agent in search of fulfilling A lifelong dream
1:02
after hitting success in the music scene.
1:05
Allowing him to leave his job at the railroad and pursue music
1:09
full time, he's been on the road touring for nearly 12 years.
1:13
He loves what he does, but he loves someone more.
1:16
His wife Janet, who's pregnant with their first child, wanting
1:21
to settle down and plant some roots, start a family.
1:24
He thinks this could be the perfect opportunity.
1:27
Bobby has always wanted to open a Music Hall, a nightclub suited
1:31
for his particular style of country.
1:34
And wandering the ballroom and gazing at the now empty bar of
1:38
this former rock'n'roll venue, he can visualize exactly what
1:42
he's been dreaming about for all these years.
1:45
So after the tour, with a few moments of thought, he decides
1:49
to purchase it. But little did he know he was
1:53
purchasing so much more than he had bargained for.
1:56
Later that day, Bobby would return with Janet to show her
1:59
the place that they were now in the process of purchasing.
2:03
From the moment she laid eyes on the property, Janet felt that
2:06
there was something ominous about it, and energy about the
2:09
place just felt off. After unlocking the front door
2:13
and stepping inside for the first time, and upon surveying
2:17
the inside with Bobby at her husband's recommendation, she
2:21
went into the kitchen alone while he grabbed some items from
2:24
their truck. As she walked around looking at
2:27
the various equipment, she began to hear a muffled voice calling
2:31
out from the sink. A gargled female voice, but no
2:36
matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make out what it was
2:39
trying to say. As she experienced this, it
2:42
deeply disturbed her. Calling out for Bobby, she heard
2:46
nothing in response. She then ran out the kitchen
2:50
doors and into the ballroom where she could see Bobby
2:53
starting to walk back in through the main doors.
2:56
She asked who he was talking to and he said no one.
3:00
That it was just him and her and the entire building saying that
3:04
she heard voices. Bobby dismissed her, thinking
3:07
that perhaps hormones were affecting her on account of the
3:10
pregnancy. She again would let him know
3:13
that she didn't have a good feeling about the building, and
3:16
time would tell that she would be right.
3:19
Although his wife disapproved and one of the two of them to
3:22
sleep on the idea. Some more Bobby transfixed by
3:26
the vision he had. For a literal dream come true
3:29
Scenario in his own words, I couldn't be stopped.
3:33
I had to have the place. Shortly after this conversation
3:37
would take place, he would sign the paperwork, attain the
3:40
banknote, and officially owned the property.
3:44
Upon signing his name on the dotted line, Bobby never looks
3:48
back. Although Janice didn't want him
3:50
to, she still tries to be a supportive wife, although
3:54
something frightens her about the place.
3:56
She still assists Bobby with mild renovations as she can one
4:00
day. As Bobby paints some walls and
4:03
Janice sweeps around the bar, a stranger walks through the front
4:07
doors of the Music Hall, introducing himself as Carl
4:11
Lawson. He tells Bobby that he noticed
4:14
that he was the new owner and that he had worked for the
4:17
previous owners as a handyman, but had unfortunately been out
4:21
of the job ever since the club had closed.
4:24
Due to several particularly brutal murders taking place upon
4:27
its grounds and later interviews, he would say this.
4:32
Any bar or nightclub is going to have its fair share of fights.
4:35
But the amount of violence that seemed to take place here, the
4:39
type of crowded attracted seemed abnormal to me.
4:43
The last year the club was previously open was the most
4:46
brutal was 6 homicides taking place upon hearing Carl's story.
4:52
Bobby quickly dismissed the idea of the nightclub becoming a
4:56
hotspot for violence. He believed that the type of
4:59
music was what could have caused people to be more violent, and
5:02
since the club was going to play traditional country music and
5:06
not anything rock related, he believed it would attract a very
5:10
different crowd. After a brief inquiry about his
5:13
skill set, Bobby decides to hire Carl as a fulltime caretaker and
5:18
handyman for the nightclub in due time.
5:20
As for their arrangement? He would live in the attic of
5:23
the property. As the renovations ramped up to
5:26
get the club ready for opening, Carl and Janice found themselves
5:30
working on projects together throughout the building.
5:33
They began to get along, and their friendship was like a big
5:36
sister and a little brother. One afternoon, Janice asked Carl
5:41
if he had ever experienced anything strange inside the
5:44
club, and to her surprise, he told her that he believed that
5:48
there was so much more than met the eye about this place.
5:51
That there was some kind of force that made people violent
5:54
here, and that the two of them should keep a lookout for one
5:58
another. Following this brief
6:00
conversation, Carl will go back to painting walls near the stage
6:04
and Janice would resume washing dishes in the kitchen.
6:07
As she toiled away, she began to hear an all too familiar sound,
6:12
a muffled, gurgling kind of sound, similar to what she had
6:17
heard the very first time that she had visited the property.
6:20
To her absolute horror, she glanced down into the sink that
6:24
the sound was emanating from and saw a thick blood like liquid
6:29
guzzling up from the drain. It then began to fill up the
6:33
sink. As she stepped backwards,
6:35
preparing to call for Carl's help, she felt someone or
6:39
something grabbed the back of her head and physically push her
6:43
towards the sink for what seemed like an eternity.
6:46
She braced herself with her hands against the sink.
6:50
As she screamed for help, only to feel the pressure released as
6:54
soon as Carl ran into the kitchen.
6:56
As she fell backwards, she began to hysterically tell Carl about
7:01
what had just happened. There's something had tried to
7:03
hurt her and that the sink was full of blood.
7:07
However, upon examining the sink, Carl didn't see anything
7:12
and neither did Janet. Now it was completely clean.
7:17
The two would continue to talk until Janet calmed down.
7:20
They would also come to the conclusion that whatever
7:22
presence that dwelled within the walls of this club was not
7:26
friendly and it was not playing games.
7:29
It had become violent. Once she had collected herself,
7:33
Janet tracked Bobby down and confronted him about what had
7:36
just happened to her, but he didn't believe her.
7:40
Thinking his wife had gone crazy.
7:42
He also called Karl over. And told him that he didn't want
7:45
her filling her head with any more ideas about ghosts.
7:49
Janet would retort that she in fact asked Carl if he had
7:52
experienced anything and not the other way around, but
7:56
nonetheless Bobby refused to believe either of them.
8:00
He didn't believe in ghosts of the paranormal, and his only
8:03
concern was getting this bar up and running so that he could
8:06
make his money back. But in due time he would see
8:09
that perhaps they were right. Within a week of these
8:13
conversations taking place, another event would happen.
8:17
A police officer by the name of Larry Hornsby was making his
8:20
usual patrol rounds, which happened to go by the club.
8:24
As he drove through the parking lot, he spotted a figure behind
8:27
the window and the door of the club open.
8:30
Thinking that someone had broke in, he quickly calls it in and
8:34
asks for backup to investigate. Once another officer arrives,
8:38
the pair cautiously make their way inside.
8:41
With guns drawn and flashlights out as they scan the bar for the
8:45
potential burglar, they spot nothing, and they don't hear
8:49
anything either. If anything, it's eerily quiet.
8:54
However, that was until music began blasting from behind the
8:58
stage. What sounded like jazz was being
9:01
played, and the sounds of people laughing and talking could be
9:05
heard as they announced their presence.
9:08
The officers made their way to where the music was coming from,
9:11
but as soon as Officer Hornsby threw back the curtain, the
9:15
music stopped. Unsure of what to make of the
9:18
situation, the two officers looked at each other and became
9:22
even more unnerved when the front door slammed shut.
9:26
They raced through the club and out the front door, ready to
9:29
pursue whoever they believed to be there, but upon a thorough
9:33
search, they again would find no one.
9:37
It's also important to know that there was little to know when
9:39
this very night. Hornsby would later say that the
9:43
two of us were stunned, but I couldn't put it in a report that
9:46
we had encountered some kind of ghost.
9:49
I would be the laughingstock, or they'd send me to a
9:52
psychiatrist. So I Simply put that we had gone
9:55
through the building but didn't find any burglars.
9:58
But I know what I heard and I know what I saw, and I wasn't
10:02
the only one there. Two nights following this
10:05
happening, Officer Hornsby would find himself again outside of
10:08
the nightclub, but this time for a very different reason.
10:12
A woman had lost control of her vehicle and hit the light pole
10:16
in the nightclubs parking lot, a crash that was fatal, not having
10:20
anything to cover the body once it was removed from the vehicle.
10:24
As the officer called it in, a woman tapped him on the shoulder
10:28
and handed him a tablecloth. She then walked back into the
10:32
nightclub. Once the scene was clear,
10:35
accompanied with several officers, Hornsby knocked on the
10:38
door in hopes of thanking the woman for her assistance.
10:42
However, the doors were locked and there were no signs of life
10:45
within the club. The following morning, the
10:48
officer and his partner would make contact with Bobby Mackey
10:51
to inform him of what had taken place.
10:54
Upon telling him of the woman who came out of the club,
10:57
brought them the tablecloth, and then went back inside thinking
11:00
that she was a waitress. Bobby shocked them by telling
11:04
them that he hadn't hired any staff yet besides Carl Lawson,
11:08
and that the club would have been completely locked up and
11:11
that he and his wife were sound asleep when this event would
11:13
have occurred. Not sure of what to make of
11:16
this. The officers simply thanked him
11:19
and left. Bobby, despite the credibility
11:22
of the officers, still didn't believe that there was anything
11:25
supernatural about the nightclub.
11:28
Later that afternoon, as Carl was changing light bulbs
11:31
upstairs, he accidentally drops and breaks the last good one
11:35
that he had. As he walks down the stairs to
11:38
grab several more, he encounters Janet, who asked what that sound
11:42
was. Upon telling her she sends him
11:45
off while she decides to sweep up the glass at the top of the
11:48
stairs. As she finishes sweeping the
11:51
glass into a pile. As she turns to grab the
11:54
dustpan, she is shoved from behind, panicked.
11:58
She begins to hyperventilate because that was close to the
12:01
edge of the stairs, and suddenly again, she's pushed, causing her
12:07
to fall down the stairs. She's found by Carl, who then
12:11
screams for Bobby. But before he gets to them,
12:14
Janice tells Carl that something pushed her down those stairs.
12:18
The three then load up as quickly as they can and rush to
12:21
the hospital. The fall causes Janet to go into
12:25
premature labor. And give birth to a baby girl
12:28
weighing only £1.15 oz. The next several weeks are tense
12:33
as the new parents monitor their baby, unsure if she's going to
12:37
make it, but thankfully against the odds, she does.
12:42
Approximately 3 weeks later, as his newly born daughter and wife
12:45
are released from the hospital, Bobby prepares for the grand
12:49
opening of what he's amply named Bobby Mackey's Music World,
12:53
although he is present physically.
12:56
He is numb. Emotionally.
12:57
He feels as if the world is on his shoulders because this night
13:01
could make or break the club's reputation.
13:04
And coming off the heels of what had just taken place within his
13:07
family, he was raw, to say the least.
13:10
He overhears a customer talking about ghosts, and that almost
13:14
sends him over the edge. He quickly finds Carl behind the
13:17
bar and confronts him. He tells him that he will no
13:20
longer have a job if he continues to tell customers
13:23
about ghosts. And that he didn't want to hear
13:26
anymore about it because he has to focus on this business for
13:29
his family. That he didn't want to hear any
13:31
more nonsense. That this hall was to be known
13:34
for great country music and not for the ghost that didn't exist.
13:39
Although he feels a presence, and although he and Janet have
13:42
spoken several times about their experiences between a rock and a
13:47
hard place, Carl decides to hold his tongue and agree with the
13:51
man who's paying his salary. Several weeks after the grand
13:54
opening, Carl would move into the attic above the club, which
13:58
had since been converted into an apartment of sorts, another perk
14:02
of being the handyman at Bobby Mackey's Music World.
14:06
But as a result of this moving forward, he spends every night
14:09
there alone. He felt as if he wasn't just a
14:13
handyman, but a caretaker of sorts, as if something kept
14:17
drawing him back to the property and unless he had a pressing
14:21
matter to leave. stares in disbelief.
14:49
The chairs then, are flung in all different directions.
14:53
This terrifies Carl and he rushes up to his apartment,
14:57
where he barricades himself in for the night.
15:00
Over the next several weeks, he's in a state of denial about
15:03
what he had seen. Trying to come to terms with his
15:06
trauma, Carl takes to cleaning. One night he finds himself down
15:11
in the storage room of the club, where he finds a loose board on
15:15
the floor upon prying it out to then replace it.
15:19
He finds a bundle of old looking cloth.
15:22
He picks it up and unravels it in his hands.
15:26
Inside the cloth is an old journal.
15:28
As he reads it, he discovers that it belonged to a woman
15:32
named Johanna, who had been a dancer at the club during the
15:35
1930s. Over the next several days, he
15:39
reads to the entire journal and learns her story.
15:43
She had fallen in love with a musician who her father
15:46
despised. And her father had told her that
15:49
he would kill this man before he'd let him marry her.
15:53
One day, the man in which she loved suddenly wasn't around the
15:56
club. He had gone missing, and she had
15:59
just found out that she was pregnant.
16:02
Thinking her father had something to do with this, she
16:05
calculated, planned, and then poisoned her father and then
16:10
herself. The final entry in the diary
16:13
proclaimed that she would roam the halls of the club for all
16:16
eternity, waiting for her lover to return to her.
16:20
After finishing her journal while laying in his bed, Carl
16:24
decided to finally get some sleep, but a storm was brewing
16:27
outside, but also inside of the club.
16:31
He wakes up choking and coughing, unable to catch his
16:35
breath as lightning illuminates the room and Thunder rocks the
16:40
club. With rain smacking the windows
16:42
behind his head, Carl finally manages to catch his breath, but
16:46
he's unable to go back to sleep. Several minutes later, the power
16:51
goes out. Being the handyman that he is,
16:54
he grabs a flashlight and makes his way towards the basement
16:58
where the breaker box is located.
17:00
As he tries to flip the breaker back, he's unsuccessful and
17:04
drops his flashlight, which then rolls towards the center of the
17:08
basement room. Not ever having spent much time
17:11
down there, upon grabbing his flashlight, Carl stumbles upon a
17:15
latch that he's never seen before.
17:17
So as any curious mind would, he decides to open it up.
17:22
With only the lightning Lighting up the room on occasion, along
17:25
with his flashlight, he discovers what appears to be a
17:29
well in the basement of Bobby Mackey's.
17:32
Not sure of what to make of this, he closes the latch back
17:36
up. He begins to make his way
17:38
towards the breaker box once again, but several feet into
17:41
making his way back, he's frozen in his tracks.
17:45
Standing before him are the apparitions of two men, and
17:49
although he can barely make out their faces, what he can see
17:53
when the lightning strikes looks menacing.
17:57
He steps back into the basement room.
17:59
As he begins to hyperventilate with fear, he hears footsteps
18:03
coming towards him, and then the sound.
18:05
Of a woman screaming, coming from underneath his feet.
18:09
He is standing directly over the well.
18:12
He then feels a presence overtake him and he loses
18:16
consciousness. He would open his eyes upon
18:19
Daybreak and would rush back upstairs, returning several
18:23
minutes later with a blessed vial of holy water that he had
18:26
in his possession. He believed that if he poured
18:29
the holy water down the well that it would help keep whatever
18:32
evil that was down there. From coming back up there.
18:36
So he does just that, and then returns back upstairs to a way
18:41
to begin the work day with Bobby.
18:43
However, his actions don't seem to work.
18:47
Over the course of the next three weeks, Carl seems to
18:50
undergo a radical change in personality.
18:53
He began to seem darker, more angry and aggressive, which was
18:58
a far cry from the timid and easygoing guy that Bobby and
19:02
Janet had come to know. His moods were becoming
19:05
unpredictable. Bobby would later say that it
19:08
got to the point that I wasn't sure which Carl I was talking to
19:11
on a daily basis. Carl also began to carry a
19:15
crucifix with him and hopes of warding off evil that he now
19:19
believed was coming from the well in the basement and
19:22
attempting to take over his body.
19:24
These strange interactions between Bobby, Carl, and Janet
19:28
prompted multiple arguments between Bobby and Janet.
19:31
With Janet believing that something spiritual was
19:34
affecting Carl and Bobby believing that the two of them
19:37
were nuts and that he had more important things like the
19:40
business to worry about. Several weeks later, in an
19:44
attempt to further expand his business's reach, Bobby would
19:47
film a commercial for his establishment and would have his
19:50
friend who was a journalist be present.
19:53
Hopefully to get a good article circulating before too long.
19:56
Upon speaking with his friend Doug Hensley about how things
20:00
were going after the commercial shoot had finished, Bobby would
20:03
confined in him. That business wise things were
20:05
going pretty good, but that his wife and Carl Lawson couldn't
20:09
stop talking about ghosts. Although he didn't believe in
20:13
it, his friend was intrigued. Being a writer, he asked why
20:17
Bobby had kept this a secret. And his response was that he
20:21
didn't want the reputation of the Music Hall being tainted by
20:24
rumors of ghosts, because a lot of people were scared of ghosts,
20:28
and it could also affect the type of people who would come
20:31
asking if he could speak with Carl and Janet.
20:34
Bobby agreed. The following afternoon, Doug
20:37
would interview Carl and Janet without Bobby being present to
20:41
try and understand what they thought they were experiencing.
20:44
Upon asking Carl his thoughts, Doug would be met with a
20:47
straightforward answer. Carl would tell him that this
20:51
place is evil. Over the course of the
20:54
interview, the two would tell him their experiences, including
20:57
Carl discovering Johanna's diary, the well in the basement,
21:01
and the two men he saw that stormy night.
21:04
And that he only continued to stay at the property as its
21:07
caretaker, to protect Janet and Bobby from whatever malevolent
21:11
force that infested its walls. And that this force despite his
21:16
best efforts to leave. Always seemed to draw him back,
21:20
being a skeptic but accepting the stories at face value, Doug
21:24
concluded the interview by thanking them.
21:27
The following day, he compiled his notes and went to the local
21:31
library to research the history of the property, Believing that
21:34
Carl Lawson was schizophrenic, he didn't think any of the
21:38
information would check out, but as he began to dig, his mind
21:42
would begin to change. Upon laying eyes on a 19th
21:46
century article from the Kentucky Post, he was strangely
21:50
intrigued. In 1897, two men, one by the
21:54
name of Alonzo Walling and the other by the name of Scott
21:58
Jackson, were hung for the murder of a woman named Pearl.
22:01
Brian Brian's headless corpse was found near the site of an
22:06
old slaughterhouse in Wilder. She had been a Sunday school
22:10
teacher. And was 5 1/2 months pregnant at
22:13
the time of her demise. Scott Jackson had been a former
22:17
boyfriend of Pearls, and Alonzo Walling had been his roommate at
22:20
dental school. It's alleged that the two
22:23
attempted to remove the child, but failed and removed Pearl's
22:27
head instead and an attempt to keep her from being identified.
22:32
Rumors quickly circulated that the two were practicing
22:35
Satanists and in a ritual sacrifice to Satan himself,
22:40
killed Pearl. And her unborn child.
22:43
Despite several searches around Kentucky and in the Ohio River,
22:47
her head was never found. The only things that the killers
22:51
would tell authorities was that it was in a deep, dark place and
22:56
would never be seen again. As the two men were asked to
22:59
give their final words before meeting their own fates at the
23:02
Gallows, Alonzo Walling gave an eerie last couple of sentences.
23:07
He said that. It would come back from hell and
23:10
haunt everyone involved in his trial and the location where
23:13
Pearl Bryant's head was. When searching for Pearl's head,
23:18
bloodhounds led investigators to the old slaughterhouse, and
23:21
although it was never proven, it was speculated that the two men
23:25
had disposed of it by dropping it in the Old Well.
23:28
Located in the basement as part of their ritual, the club now
23:33
known as Bobby Mackey's Music World now rests on top of the
23:37
foundation. That very same slaughterhouse
23:40
Between the time it was a slaughterhouse and into the 20th
23:44
century, before it was a nightclub, there were documented
23:48
incidents involving law enforcement at the time catching
23:51
various groups performing rituals in the basement.
23:54
Around that well, they would typically perform blood
23:57
sacrifices of small animals as offerings, believing it to be a
24:02
portal of sorts due to how much blood had been spilled and
24:06
soaked into the land. When the property had been a
24:09
slaughterhouse, a main drain pipe would guide the blood from
24:12
the floor, where would then drain off into the Licking
24:15
River. Doug began to speculate that the
24:18
two men Carl had seen that night when he discovered the well
24:22
could have very well have been the spirits of Alonzo Walling
24:25
and Scott Jackson because he believed the two, for whatever
24:29
reason satanic or not, had disposed of her head in that
24:33
well. And now they haunted the grounds
24:35
of the club. Mystery also deepens through his
24:40
research. Doug Hensley had gone from a
24:42
hard skeptic to a convinced believer.
24:45
He now thought that angry spirits inhabited the grounds of
24:49
Bobby Mackey's music world, and through his research, he also
24:53
noticed a disturbing pattern. Pearl Brian had been 5 1/2
24:57
months pregnant at the time of her demise.
25:00
According to her diary entries, Johanna right before her demise.
25:05
Was 5 1/2 months pregnant and Janet had also been 5 1/2 months
25:10
pregnant when she was pushed down the stairs.
25:13
Once he had finished researching and putting the story together
25:16
with that research, he asked to meet with Bobby, Janet, and Carl
25:21
several weeks later. He would tell them about his
25:24
convictions as well as this pattern.
25:26
The pattern in particular, given what Janet had experienced,
25:30
concerned him the most, which prompted him to ask Bobby.
25:34
To allow them to do something about it.
25:36
And although he doesn't personally believe in spirits,
25:39
he's known Doug a long time and knows that he's a sensible
25:43
person with a good head on his shoulders.
25:45
So, going against his wishes, Bobby gives him the goahead to
25:49
do what he thinks needs to be done.
25:51
It takes several more weeks, but arrangements are made and in an
25:55
effort to bring peace to whatever spirits that seem to be
25:58
lurking within the nightclub, A psychic by the name of Patricia
26:02
Michelle is brought in. She was given no prior knowledge
26:06
of the history or story behind it.
26:09
Upon her arrival she met Carl Lawson and he quickly began to
26:13
say what he thought was happening within the club.
26:16
She would ask him to please keep any information to himself so
26:20
she wouldn't be influenced as she did her walkthrough.
26:23
During her time roaming Bobby Mackey's, Patricia would sense
26:27
and speak with a spirit. Upon asking her name, she was
26:31
told that it was Johanna. When asking Johanna why she
26:35
remained here, she was told that she knew that she was dead, but
26:39
that she had chosen to stay in regards to what she believed to
26:43
be taking place there. Patricia Michelle would later
26:46
say this. I believe that there is spirits
26:49
inhabiting Bobby Mackey's establishment, and I believe
26:52
that they have chosen to stay here rather than move on and
26:55
face what they believe will be a place where they will burn for
26:59
all eternity upon surveying the basement.
27:02
She asked to open up the latched board on the floor to reveal the
27:06
well below. As she stared down into the
27:09
well, she gasped and told everyone present that there was
27:14
the head of a woman there. She then fell back and was
27:17
overcome with a horrible bout of nausea.
27:21
It was then coupled by cold sweats and the spins until she
27:24
left the club several hours later.
27:27
She would return once she was feeling able, bodied again to
27:31
meet with everyone. And discuss how she felt about
27:34
what she had uncovered. As she sat down at the table
27:37
with Janet, Doug, and Carl and several of her own people, she
27:41
noticed that Carl was trembling. She then saw two men standing
27:46
behind him, and the feeling she got when she saw them was one of
27:50
overwhelming dread and malice. She believed that these spirits
27:55
had been oppressing Carl, and we're trying to wear him down to
27:58
the point to where they could use his body.
28:02
Hearing that Carl would soon become possessed, Patricia would
28:05
recommend that he seek help from a minister to help break this
28:08
attachment. After divulging the rest of her
28:11
feelings to everyone, Patricia would then leave.
28:15
Several days later, Doug would contact and bring in a
28:18
Pentecostal minister to meet with Carl.
28:22
Upon stepping foot in the club, the minister told Doug before
28:26
meeting Carl that this was the most evil place he had ever
28:29
stepped foot in. That he had been doing this for
28:32
years and had never seen or felt anything like it.
28:36
And if Carl was experiencing what he was experiencing, let
28:40
alone living in a place like this, that he certainly was, or
28:44
was on the cusp of being demonically possessed and needed
28:47
help. Immediately upon meeting Carl
28:50
for the first time, he knew what he had said to be true.
28:54
He then followed Carl into the kitchen where the two sat at a
28:57
table together for his own documentation.
29:00
He placed a video camera to record their interaction, and
29:03
then the minister began to pray over him.
29:06
As he prayed aloud, Carl began to contort and grimace.
29:11
Then, when asked his name, he spoke back to the preacher in a
29:14
voice that was not his own. He responded with My name is
29:19
Alonzo, and I prayed and oh God. The minister then commanded
29:24
Alonzo to leave Carl's body. Carl then fell back off his
29:28
chair and onto the floor. And began to twist and scream.
29:32
The minister then called for the other men to come and surround
29:35
Carl. Due to his violent outbursts, he
29:37
didn't want to be injured, nor did he want Carl to injure
29:40
himself. As the men restrained Carl, he
29:43
began to scream at them in Latin, which the minister spoke.
29:47
However, he then went from speaking Latin to speaking
29:50
English backwards, saying Natas my eye, Natas my eye, or
29:57
forwards. I am Satan.
29:59
Which they wouldn't know until they watched the tape back
30:02
later. After an hour of praying and
30:05
demanding the Spirit leave Carl's body, Carl would scream
30:09
and what sounded like two men screaming in unison for several
30:12
seconds, and everyone present felt a cold rush of wind blow
30:17
past them as Carl now lays silent, breathing heavily.
30:21
He would finally come to several minutes later and he didn't
30:25
recall what had happened. He would later say that when I
30:29
woke up, everyone was looking at me and I was on the floor.
30:32
I didn't know what happened. Several days following the
30:36
exorcism, Carl would decide that it was time for him to move on.
30:40
He no longer felt tethered to the property and said that he
30:43
began to feel like himself again.
30:45
He thanked the Mackey's for employing and befriending him,
30:49
and then left in search of a new opportunity following Carl's
30:52
departure. Janet Mackey did not want to be
30:55
at the club, given everything that she had experienced, and so
30:59
she wouldn't be. She would instead opt to stay at
31:01
home with their now healthy baby girl.
31:04
And before we get to the end of this perplexing paranormal
31:07
story, I do have some additional history I'd like to share with
31:11
you about Bobby Mackey's. So far, we're familiar with
31:15
Pearl, Brian and the fact that the property was built on the
31:18
foundation of an old slaughterhouse.
31:21
And that in between the time of its demolishing and rebuilding
31:24
as a club, it was a supposed hotbed for satanic cult
31:28
activity. But upon further investigation,
31:31
we would also prove Johanna's existence as well.
31:34
Once it was rebuilt and resold, the club has an interesting
31:37
story. It would reopen as a Roadhouse,
31:40
and the Roadhouse would become an illicit bar and gambling den,
31:44
known better by the name of Primrose.
31:47
The Primrose was a Speakeasy ran by the mob.
31:50
And as a result of its owners, it became a hotbed for violence.
31:54
It would change ownership in the 1950s.
31:57
It would also change its name to the Latin Quarter.
32:00
Johanna was a dancer there, and she was also the daughter of the
32:04
club's owner. She had fallen in love with a
32:07
singer named Robert Randall and ended up pregnant with his
32:10
child, having a strong dislike for Robert.
32:14
Her father found this out and was enraged.
32:17
He would have Robert killed as a result.
32:19
Depressed by the death of Robert, Johanna then poisoned
32:23
herself in the basement right above where the well was.
32:26
But despite this research, her diary and her poisoning, her
32:30
father could not be confirmed. The Latin Quarter would remain
32:34
open until 1978, until a series of shootings and subsequential
32:38
law enforcement pressure forced it to close.
32:41
Its doors would then be purchased by Bobby Mackey
32:44
several months later to this day.
32:47
Bobby Mackey still says that he himself has never experienced
32:50
any supernatural occurrences, but many people who have
32:53
visited, however, have. A sign now hangs within Bobby
32:57
Mackey's walls that serves as a warning to all patrons that the
33:02
club cannot be held liable for anything that happens to them as
33:05
a result of the ghosts. And despite still not being a
33:09
believer given everything that he had seen, his mantra has long
33:13
since been come for the ghosts. And stay for the music.
33:18
But if Bobby Mackey's was haunted, could there have been a
33:21
force, perhaps keeping him blind to it all, driving and keeping
33:25
his hunger alive? And if Bobby Mackey's music
33:28
world is indeed haunted, perhaps underneath its floorboards, deep
33:33
in the bowels of the basement, inside of the old Well, a portal
33:37
to hell still exists. Whatever evil that lingers there
33:42
perhaps slithers out of it. Whenever it feels the proper
33:46
opportunity to exploit the week, don't let it be you.
