The Story
Accounts collected by Southern Spirit Guide describe lantern-like lights inside the former jazz club after closing, glassware falling and objects moving. Some visitors felt they were intruding in an occupied home. The folklore often links these disturbances with Dr. James Baker and his son, although the reported phenomena do not establish the spirits’ identities.
