Why is the Muskie Lounge and Crab House (Bourbon Street Grille) Haunted?

*Many employees and customers who frequent this restaurant believe it to be haunted through the many years that it has been in business. One Friday night, a waitress who was known as Marlene suffered a fatal heart attack where she later died in a Madison hospital.-GoP

Alleged Paranormal Activity

*After Marlene's death, people at the restaurant began to sense a presence in the building.-GoP
*Employees and customers would feel a tap on the shoulder where there would be no one next to them.-GoP
*In a certain part of the restaurant, employees who opened the restaurant the next day would find the table settings and seating arranged in a different manner that it was done the previous night.-GoP


*
In 1994, before the Muskie Lounge opened for business, the then present owner and his partner were alone in the building where they both heard someone laughing next to them.  Twenty minutes later it happened again.-GoP
*Remodeling the Muskie Lounge was often stalled by odd power failures and tools and materials that would mysteriously disappear.-GoP

*Today, Marlene makes her opinion known on menu changes by tossing pots and pans when the restaurant is empty.  Marlene also states her opinion when bands play at the bar.  If she likes the band, she helps them out be unpacking the band's equipment.-GoP
