A hotel-restaraunt in Mt. Pleasant that was built in 1883 is believed by some to have had customers that checked in more than 100 years ago who remain there today.

They're ghosts.

Sherry Wingrove, owner of the R&R Station, said she began noticing strange things happening soon after she and her husband, Ray, bought the business.

"Things would disappear and then reappear later. You heard footsteps when no one was there, and you could hear children bouncing a ball upstairs and pots and pans would fly off the racks," Wingrove said. "For 13 years I wondered what was going on."

Last August she decided to see if she was going crazy or if something supernatural was afoot.

That's when she contacted the Paranormal Researchers Organization.

"Someone from the organization has come in every month since then, except December, and they set up cameras and recorders in different rooms and sleep over night in a different room every time they come," Wingrove said.

I have a friend who was married by a priest that is certified by the Catholic Church to perform exorcism. If I had kitchen utensils breezing through my kitchen, I'd get on the blower to him right quick.

Some of my family and I have witnessed a few things we can't explain. I'm sure there is a logical explanation, but I'd be damned if I could figure it out. Till then it makes for great stories. I love things that go bump in the night.
