  1. I was invited there years ago to meet a girl that was going to RIC. While there i was standing with the bar to my right and my back to a little corner and never in my life have i felt such a strong presence standing behind me. I kept looking behind me and dancing around so uneasy that i was asked if i was ok. I told them I feel like something was behind me and the bartender laughed and said..”I would put money on it that there is” and walked away. I Never understood until years later when this place started showing up on tv and sites like this.
