We asked people at a bar that's more
than 100 years old if they are
"believers" after a group of
Paranormal Investigators looked
around the building.
A group of paranormal investigators
say the ghost stories you may hear
about ten places in the Chippewa
Valley are facts.
We talked with people at Eisold's
Irvine Bar about hauntings and
ghosts after a paranormal
investigation.
They chose the Irvine Bar because
lots of people tell stories about
the ghost of a former owner tapping
them on the shoulder, or
experiencing other things they can't
explain.
Ellie Whitrock of Chippewa Falls
says she was once shoved really hard
against the wall at the bar, and
nobody was behind her.
"So yeah, I do believe there's
ghosts," she said.
"Yeah, I guess I believe in ghosts,"
said Skip Battcher of Chippewa
Falls. "I don't know! I don't know!
It's hard to explain a lot of
things."
Michell Eisold says she never
believed in ghosts, until she bought
the place two years ago. She also
says two people have quit under her
watch because of things they
couldn't explain. Eisold says one of
them saw things falling from a
kitchen shelf. She says the other
was at the grill when all of a
sudden he saw a man go down a nearby
staircase. He followed him
downstairs and didn't see anybody,
then came back up and found that
door was locked.
Not all the customers believe the
hype.
David King of Chippewa Falls says
getting tapped on the shoulder might
mean you have a muscle cramp.
"I never have believed in ghosts,
and i think it's the phenomenon to
the individual," he said.
The investigation didn't uncover any
ghosts, at least, none that we could
see.
That didn't sway what the two
investigators believe.
"There's always going to be skeptics
no matter what you're talking
about," said Paranormal Investigator
Chris Wiener. "Ghosts, landing on
the moon, whatever, there's always
skeptics and there's always
believers and it's just a matter of
staying the course."
It's what they hope will help them
explain the unexplained in places
that people say are haunted.
When we asked investigator Terry
Fisk what ghosts look like, he told
us they reportedly appear as either
solid or transparent apparitions,
shadowy figures, glowing figures,
nebulous mists, or orbs of light.
