BONEHEAD'S BBQ RESTAURANT WILLIS, MI
# OF INVESTIGATORS= 6 WEATHER= 70F MOON PHASE= WANING CRESCENT
THIS RESTAURANT HAS BEEN AROUND FOR MANY YEARS, ONCE KNOWN AS "THE PICKLE BARREL INN". IT IS BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN BUILT AROUND 1865, AND HAS BEEN A COACH STOP, GRAINERY, & GENERAL STORE IN THE PAST. THE GHOSTS THAT HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCED HERE BY STAFF MEMBERS- PAST & PRESENT- ARE FRIENDLY IN NATURE. THE ATMOSPHERE IS A CHARMING ONE WITH GREAT FOOD, A FRIENDLY STAFF, AND BEAUTIFUL SURROUNDINGS. MANY PEOPLE HAVE WITNESSED STRANGE OCCURRENCES IN THE BUILDING, INCLUDING PATRONS. THE FIGURE OF A WOMAN HAS BEEN SEEN ON THE STAIRCASE, AND THE REFLECTION OF A GIRL HAS BEEN GLIMPSED IN THE LADIES RESTROOM MIRROR. A CAT HAS ALSO BEEN SEEN WANDERING NEAR THE BAR AREA, THOUGH NO ANIMALS ARE EVER INSIDE THE BUILDING. WE FOUND THIS PLACE TO BE QUITE INVITING, AND FELT WELCOMED BY BOTH THE LIVING & THE SPIRITS OF THOSE WHO HAVE PASSED ON. THIS IS A WONDERFUL FAMILY PLACE, AND A VISIT HERE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. BRING YOUR APPETITE!
