CAN I GO UPSTAIRS TO SEE THE JAIL CELLS?

No. The owner of the building has prohibited the GENERAL PUBLIC any access to the jail cells. This is the choice of the building BOD. 

HAS THE BUILDING BEEN INVESTIGATED BY PARANORMAL TEAMS?
Yes.  Several teams have been given private access to explore the building. 

I AM IN A PARANORMAL TEAM. CAN I INVESTIGATE THE COMPLETE BUILDING?

Yes. Review HERE.

 

ARE ALL PARANORMAL TECHNIQUES PERMITTED?

We are very protective of this building, the cafe's energy, and our unseen residents. We have worked really hard to cleanse the atmosphere of this building. We don't want any negative energy invited to the building. Therefore, the following practices and tools aren't permitted: Ouija board, seance, black candle, summoning, taunting, declaring anything a Dem_n presence, saying the word "D_mon", any activity with dark intentions. You will be removed from the building without refund.

 

WHAT IS AN AFTER-HOURS PARANORMAL EXPERIENCE FOR GENERAL PUBLIC?

You may schedule an after-hours Guided Paranormal Experience. One of our staff will guide your evening with detailed haunting stories and assist you to create your own experiences in the deep dark hours. Paranormal equipment is provided. Review options HERE.
(1) Spirit interaction not guaranteed.  To quote Paul, one of our spirits, from a previous paranormal team experience, "We don't do tricks."
(2) Waivers required.

(3) The following are NOT permitted; Ouija board, seance, black candle, summoning, taunting, declaring anything a Dem_n presence, saying the word "D_mon", any activity with dark intentions. You will be removed from the building without refund.

IS THE BUILDING HAUNTED?

Yes. We experience activities on a frequent basis and have many ghost stories. It has become normal to us. 

ARE THE SPIRITS ANGRY? WILL THEY HURT ME? SHOULD I BE SCARED?
NO! There are no spirits here who cause problems. We have an agreement with the house spirits of mutual Kindness Dignity and Respect. We do not taunt or ridicule them. They do not taunt or harm us, our family, our friends or our guests. Additionally, surely, they must be bored. Consequently, as long as the house rules are followed, we invite them to overcome that boredom and participate with us day to day in the Cafe. We bring them fresh coffee on a frequent basis, maybe pour a tipple of Wild Turkey, and talk to them. In exchange, our building is filled with a peaceful feeling.
 

MIGHT I EXPERIENCE SOMETHING WHEN I AM THERE AS A CUSTOMER?
Yes! The house spirits don't just hang out upstairs. You can experience smaller and larger events downstairs. Some have seen mists and orbs. Many (especially women) have been touched on their back or arm, felt "airplane ear", or a tug on the ear lobe.  The ear tugger is named William. If these, or anything that happens, make you feel uncomfortable, firmly tell them to STOP!  
 

DO YOU KNOW WHO THE SPIRITS WERE IN LIFE?

No. We have not gained access to building records. If research is your passion and you wish to volunteer, we would love to collaborate with you.
However, there are many details that come to us from a variety of outside anecdotal sources. When multiple details mesh with information received from other sources, we begin to believe we have a cohesive story.
 
CAN I TAKE PICTURES UPSTAIRS?

The GENERAL PUBLIC is not allowed upstairs and will not be able to take any pictures of the second floor. If you want to take a picture home with you, professional award-winning photographer Cade Crippin of Photography by Cade has created a stunning series of jailhouse photos. These are available for purchase during events or directly from Cade during our business hours. We consider Cade to be our House Photographer, displayer of art and the only photographer welcome to sell images of the jail cells.

However:

>If you are a member of a vetted paranormal team with whom we have scheduled access, then snap away!

>If you are not in a team, talk with us about your reason. We might be open to the idea. 
>No matter what, we would love images to use on our website and other locations. Of course, you will be credited for use of any images, with links wherever possible.

 

SO WHERE CAN I TAKE PICTURES?
We have two photo spots on the first floor. In the front room we have a mugshot wall with laminated, customizable placards. Located in the hallway near the mugshot wall, there are two original doors: one barred, and one solid steel. You can temporarily close both doors to get a picture behind bars.

I WON'T TELL ANYONE!  IT WON'T HURT ANYTHING, JUST TAKE ME UPSTAIRS.
No, we will not.
