Thanks to all that came out. And a special thanks to The Cat & Fiddle Pub for all of their hospitality. Not only did they go above and beyond accommodating our large group, but many of the staff shared old photos, their fond memories of the former owner, Kim Gardner, and their own personal ghost stories, adding to the ones already posted, including...---A dark figure seen in shadows of the doorway at the north/east end of the courtyard (where the patio gate meets the wall). This apparition is thought to be the energy of a man, who accidentally fell to his death from the second floor, while trying to scale the side of the building. The reason for this fool-hearty stunt is unknown.
---The spirit Kim Gardner, who has been strongly felt in a private room opposite the Casablanca Room (on the other end of the bar). This room was used during his life as a "family room" of sorts, where friends and relatives could relax. An informal wake for Mr. Gardner was held in this room after his death, and during the remembrances, a free-standing light apparently turned on by itself, shined very brightly, and then fell over, smashing the bulb. It is also in this room, that late at night, when locking up, people have seen feet pacing back and forth through the space under the door, despite no one being in that room when the door is opened.
We also heard a variation of the gangster ghost's story, in which instead of his body being pulled into a back room to be dealt with later, it was dragged into the alley and put with the bags of trash to be hauled away since there is a door in that room that leads to the back alley (which is said to be the entrance Roy Rogers used when dining with his horse).
Thanks again, to everyone that made it a great and unique night!
