The Story

The Comedy Store's ghost lore reaches back to its earlier life as Ciro's nightclub. HauntBound recounts staff and performer stories of a uniformed man nicknamed Gus, a figure in a bomber jacket, and a woman resembling a showgirl. The basement also appears in investigator anecdotes, including an account of sudden physical distress. The club's former and present names refer to the same venue, and neither its backstage history nor a paranormal reputation grants access to nonpublic spaces. A single secondary directory remains the principal detailed story source unless additional story evidence is listed. No paranormal claims are independently proven.
