Saturday, July 30th, 2016.
TnWatchdog, BlastTyrant and myself met in Anoka, Mn. to say hello, chat and grab a bite to eat.
We decided to go to Billy's Bar and Grill.
While on our way towards the building,
something caught my attention, from one of the 3rd story windows there was a shadowy figure looking outward, I blinked and it was gone.
I wasn't sure what I saw, so I didn't say anything...then it happened again.
That's when I stopped and stared up at the windows, there she was again!
Only for another moment and then gone.
This time I said something.
BlastTyrant told me that the owners sometimes like to put mannequins in the windows to mess with people so,
I figured that was possibly what I was seeing and forgot about it as we headed in to have lunch.
Now... here's the kicker.
Later after we had our meal, we were standing outside chatting and again, something caught my attention.
I looked up and there she was again!
Blinked and she was gone.
I just stood there dumbfounded.
Okay, now it's after 3 am Tuesday and i found my book, the Mn. road guide to haunted locations by Chad Lewis & Terry Fisk.
I didn't realize that Billy's was in this book until now.
The legend tells of visitors seeing a woman looking down from the windows of the 3rd floor which has been vacant for many years.
I've had this book for years and never really read it until now... although I was aware of a place called Durkin's Irish Pub which is in the book. (Durkin's no longer exists, sadly)
I know what I witnessed when I looked up and saw her and I hadn't planned on saying anything further, but now after reading what I have read about Billy's Bar and Grill,
I honestly believe I had a bonified witnessing.
I will never forget meeting two very cool members of Paranormalis on a perfect Saturday afternoon.
TnWatchdog, BlastTyrant, it was an honor.
And I am glad we chose Billy's for lunch.
I will never forget this day..ever.
