Bobby Mackeys Music World, Wilder, Ky
If you are a fan of the Travel Channel show Ghost Adventures, I am sure you know about this place.
Before this was a place to dance and have a good time, it has a dark past. This building was first built as a slaughterhouse. In the basement of the building was a well dug were they would keep the blood and guts of the slaughtered animals. It is said that after the slaughterhouse closed and the building was vacant, that there was satanic cult activity that happened here. The slaughter house was demolished in the early 20th century. The lot then sat empty until a new building was erected in the 1920s that served as a casino. It is said that there was a lot of mobster activity and many murders in the casino, the casino closed in 1946. In the 1950s the empty casino was turned into a nightclub called the "Latin Quarter". In this nightclub a young women fell in love with a singer and got pregnant. She intended to run off with him, but when her father ( the nightclub owner) found out he called for the young man to be killed. When his daughter found out he was the murderer she poisoned him. Because of this the authorities had no chose but to close the club down in 1978. Later that same year the bar was turned into Bobby Mackey's. There have been so many speculations and paranormal activity that there is too much to name. The basement is even said to be the portal to hell. Given the violent history taken place in this building and on this land it is honestly no surprise.
