Thanks to all those who came out (the regulars and the first-timers) and made this a great event. As always it's nice to see everyone and hear their personal ghost stories.
A special GHOULA thanks to Silvio and the staff at Patrick's Roadhouse for giving up their night off to entertain our group. Silvio should really be commended. Not only did he save this historic hang-out after Bill Fischler (the original owner) passed away, but he has managed to maintain the same warmth and character that has made this establishment a local favorite.
GHOULA would also like to thank Pam and Marie, for providing their insights into the establishment's lore and sharing their memories of Bill Fischler (now one of the resident ghosts). We were informed that his presence was strong that night. Incidentally, as a side note, Marie is the granddaughter of local legend Abbot Kinney, who is said to haunt the street that bears his name in Venice.
Also, a big "thank you" to Craig for bringing his equipment and sharing these devices with the group. A lot of electro-magnetic anomalies were discovered throughout the "former hotel/motel" portion of the restaurant, especially in the back end of the dining room, where witnesses have claimed to see apparitions. We were warned early in the evening that the spirits were especially active recently (ever since a new set of swinging doors was added at the far end of the building just a few days ago).
Last, but not least, we would like to thank Michael Aushenker (from the Palisadian Post) who covered our event for this historic and local newspaper. He interviewed many of the members in attendance. The article hit the stands on Sept. 24, but is also available online. Copies of the newspaper will also be available at the next SPIRITS with SPIRITS for those that wish to have a souvenir of this past event.
