A lot of people don't think of paranormal when they think of Kentucky. Then they just get a big ole' surprise.
Kentucky has several places that are considered haunted. Bobby Mackey's is one of the best known. It's located in Northern KY, 8 to 10 miles from Cincinnati, Ohio. The site used to be a slaughterhouse in the early 1800's. The property is situated right next to a railroad. In the old days, this wasn't always the best place to be. Back then, a lot of crime would occur in areas by railroads. In this case, the legend says that the murder of Pearl Bryan occurred at that exact same area.
After being a slaughterhouse, the original building was torn down. Eventually someone rebuilt and opened up a roadhouse. As time went on, the business changed hands and became other businesses. As the legend goes, Pearl Bryan was pregnant. The father was contacted and wrote to Pearl, telling her to come to the Fort Thomas area. Two days later, her body was found decapitated behind what is now the YMCA.
Pearl Bryan's head was never found. It is rumored that the old abandoned slaughterhouse was being used for Satanic rituals during that time. Scott Jackson, Pearl's boyfriend and the father of her child, was said to participate in these rituals. Many believe that her head was thrown into the well located at the slaughterhouse.
Scott Jackson and another man were arrested and eventually hung. Both men chose hanging over revealing the location of the head. Legend says that they were scared of inciting the wrath of Satan by revealing where the head was located.
Bobby Mackey made an appearance on Jerry Springer on 12-13-1991. The Jerry Springer segments are below. They must have been guests before Jerry got REALLY weird. He looks pretty young in these clips. I'm not sure which is scarier, these clips or Jerry Springer's future shows and guests. But I diverse.
This is just a small sampling of the many paranormal events happening at Bobby Mackey's. People have been thrown, voices heard, ceiling falling, spirits seen, and more. The land that Bobby Mackey's sits on has quite a history and story to tell. As the years passed and different businesses moved in, it's reported that several other murders happened in that exact location (see I told you businesses by the railroad tracks is NOT a good idea). Many believe that Bobby Mackey's is now a gateway to Hell.
If you'd like to see these events for yourself, Bobby Mackey's is open Friday and Saturday nights. Fridays are free until 10 pm. As for me, I think I'll just stay where it's nice and safe.
