THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The Van Dyke Lounge has developed a reputation for paranormal activity dating back decades. Staff and patrons have reported shadow figures, unexplained voices, moving objects, and ghostly encounters after closing.
The Van Dyck Lounge restaurant and brewery was once a jazz club that opened in 1947. Many big names played here, including Earl Hines, Teddy Wilson, Roy Eldridge, Dizzy Gillespie and Thelonious Monk. It is rumored to be haunted by the ghost of a brothel worker who was killed in a stairwell.
