A VISITOR STOPS BY
Under the Moon Café’
Estela and Santiago were so successful in their separate businesses that a much larger location was needed for each. They decided to merge their talents into one location. Under the Moon Café was relocated in the much larger space in the former, long-time location of the Miller-Magowan Men’s Clothing Store on Farnsworth Avenue.
Remodeling is often the first thing to do when buying a building to rearrange it to suit your business. It is also the very thing that wakens sleeping spirits and gets them moving around in an old space. That is what happened in the new location for Under the Moon Café.
Santiago’s creative juices started flowing with ideas on remodeling to give the building a totally Under the Moon Café look.
Charlie soon made his first appearance to Estela.
Estela said, “There is an old man dressed in all black. He wears a tall hat and a long coat. I call him Charlie. He plays with the coffee machine. Turn it on. Turn it off. Turn it on. Turn it off. At first I didn’t know it was Charlie. I called the company about the machine. ‘It turns on and off by itself,’ I told them. They came out to check the machine.
They said the machine works perfectly fine. Then I knew it was Charlie. I said, ‘Charlie, if you want to play, you can play.’ He played with the cups and the Chimichanga glasses. Not like he drops them, he places them gently. I see them fly through the air but not like being thrown; he does it gently.
Often when Santiago goes into the basement to bring up supplies, somebody will tap him on the shoulder. He will look over his shoulder. Nobody is there. At times a strong smell, not unpleasant, will permeate the air. Other times, voices are heard. Employees remark that they, too, experience the same things when they go down there!” Full story in Living with Ghosts at Amazon.com
fyi: There will be a FrightNight in Warrenton prior to Halloween. We are trying to give some such readings in a ghostly manner.
I surely hope we can get it together.
(I saw an old video today of Joan Rivers as the moderator; Vincent Price was the guest. She asked him to “sing”/read in the voice that only he can carry. The background music was to Michael’s Killer. Vince recited .. the Monster Mash .. very ghostly, indeed.)
They can be fun. Love your Vincent. hahaha
