Personal Experiences:
(Not Factual Proof)

During the night, many times, the sound of someone walking behind the bar area was noted. This was also followed with the feeling of being watched. Twice during the night’s investigation, a shadow was spotted behind the bar by the register and also at the opposite end by the bathroom and freezer doors. Also numerous times throughout the night, investigators commented on hearing a whistle.

Shadows in the window (Top Photo) show the middle object to be taller while with a flash (Bottom Photo) it shows a plant that does not match the shadow.
