Calgary s Haunted Pub Tour 2024: Should Be Haunted 1

Details

Should be haunted....
Yup....
Its an urban legend but I kinda recall being there the nite it happened...
Back in the 80's...
The bouncers back then were lean mean fightin machines....
They had to be....
The patrons were rude rowdy and outta control....
Fights were almost hourly especially on weekends when the boys from the Bar T came into town....
And not just boys....them girls fought with anyone who dared use their bathroom....but thats another story....
Anyway.... the bouncers broke up fights...took on all types...and often got the worst of it....
Anyone having seen the movie roadhouse with patrick swayze might have a abit of an idea of things...
Anyway....
The nite in question was just another friday nite...
People waitin in line were gettin a tad restless....
In those days they had a regular bar upfront that opened at noon then the back dancefloor area opened at 7....
People drank upfront all day then came over to the dancefloor later...
And thats when the trouble began....
So the legend is that the bouncers accidently killed a guy who just wouldnt he nice...
Too much booze..too many bouncers....too long in a chokehold....too far down to the pavement....
So he died...
Cops came by....
Ruled justifiable...
Case closed...
The cops were different in those days too....
Sooo......
Lets drop in and see ifn this guy s around at all....or...
Ifn its just a few dead bullriders hanging around.....
