This ghost photo was sent by Sharon who has since sold this bar.

Sharon said, "I just e-mailed pictures of some of the strange things that I have taken with my HP digital camera. We bought the bar 5 years ago and some strange things have happened. We believe the bar was built during prohibition and ran as a speak easy. The original owners were Frank and Sally Stukel. It has changed hands many times and names. We named it back to the original Paradise Gardens. Sally died here but I'm not sure when. Almost all of us who have worked here have felt or seen some kind of presence.

The one picture I took on my security camera. From time to time these shapes of what appears to be a lighted dust appear on the security camera, but if you are in the room you don't see them. My daughter and I have experience this several times. One of us will stay upstairs looking at the camera while the other one goes downstairs to where we see the shape. On the camera I have watched my daughter walk through them, but she doesn't see them. At first it was one that appeared by a table. The next two that we saw are on that picture. It looks like two people having a conversation at the end of the bar. They have moved around the bar. Usually one is on the bartending side and one is on the customer side.

My step son was here and we took pictures in total darkness and those are the other ones I sent. you see round lights, that were not in the room that we could see with our eyes. Do we have ghosts? Is there anyone that would like to investigate? I would love to have people stop in and see if they see anything."

We did have 5 grown snowmobilers in here in the morning for breakfast and no alcohol involved and swear they saw someone go into the men's bathroom and not come out. They were the only ones in here and they were afraid to go to the bathroom alone. Interesting? I am also interested in selling the place due to 2 deaths in the family and the emotional stress that comes with loosing someone close to you. "
