Circle City Paranormal

History

Wilder, Kentucky is a small town that is located just south of Cincinnati, Ohio. For many years, the town has
been subject to visits from curiosity-seekers, tourists, paranormal investigators and media reporters. They
come here in search of a place called Bobby Mackey’s Music World, a night club and tavern that may be one
of the most haunted, and most sinister, locations in America!

The building where the nightclub is now located has a long and bloody history in the area, from its origins as
a slaughterhouse to its tangible link to one of the greatest ghost stories of southern Indiana. It was constructed
back in the 1850’s and was one of the largest packing houses in the region for many years. Only a well that
was dug in the basement, where blood and refuse from the animals was drained, remains from the original
building. The slaughterhouse closed down in the early 1890’s, but legend has it that the building was far from
abandoned. According to the lore, the basement of the packing house became a ritual site for occultists. The
well was used to hide the remains of small animals that were butchered during their ceremonies.

Apparently, a small satanic group made up of local residents gathered at the empty building, managing to
practice their rituals in secret. However, they were exposed in 1896 during one of the most spectacular murder
trials ever held in northeast Kentucky. It was so large that tickets were sold to the hearing and more than 5,000
people stood outside the Newport, Kentucky courthouse for information about what was taking place inside.
The trial, and the murder that spawned it, has become an integral part of Bobby Mackey’s haunted history

Investigation

The investigation of Bobby mackey's was difficult and very exciting. When we first arrived there it was our
team the manager and another employee. We were all outside when Joe turned to me and ask if I just saw
something and I said no. He then explained to Donna the manage what he saw and she said, " yeah that is the
gentelman that comes and goes." Joe said he was an middle age man wearing a suit and fidora style hat and
walked across the hall and into the wall. We had no previous knowledge of a male figure prior to Joe seeing
this. With the way the buiding is set up to gain acess to the basement you have to go outside and down a hill
to the side door. Therefore to cover the basement we had to pull out our wireless IR camera's for our DVR.

During the investigation Joe and Roger were in the basement and both stated to get the sensation of being
watched along with, the feeling you get when you think trouble is about to start. They then left the basement
for a while. We had some nice personal experience, however no physical evidence was caught at that time. We
are wanting to schedule another trip to Kentucky to investigate again because of the places awesome history.
