HAUNTED LOCATION: Not-so-fine dining! Guests and employees of Grayson Bailey's restaurant report seeing an apparition of a man wearing khaki pants walking across the mezzanine, loud banging noises and a woman in white. People have heard voices, seen objects moving- including a floating canister of sugar! How are people supposed to work when they're scared to death?

HAUNTED LOCATION: Not-so-good-neighbor! The courthouse across the street might hold some clues about the ghosts in the restaurant. After he bought the building, Grayson learned that the basement was used as a back-up morgue for the bodies that had been hanged at the courthouse! And the courhouse was a center of "rough justice", with lots of lynchings in its history.

Even though the jail in the courthouse is no longer in use, maintenance workers report scratching noises, uneasy feelings and shadowy apparitions on the 7th and 4th floors. Considering all the murders, hangings and lynchings that have occurred in this buildling, this shouldn't be a surprise.

The infamous killer, The Butterfly Man, committed the most brutal crime in the city's history. Daniel Napier, known for selling butterfly clips, raped and murdered a 15-year-old girl and set her body on fire. He was hanged there in 1934.

But the locals don't think the Butterfly Man is the one that haunts him. Everyone believes they are being visited by one Dr. Butler. Dr. Butler was Coroner for over 50 years and would work tirelessly at his job. Since his death, courthouse workers say they have seen and even HAD CONVERSATIONS with the old doc.

Amy and Adam suspect that the voices people claim to hear inside the restaurant could actually be coming from outside. Adam laps the building making noises, and she hears him clearly from the bus stop but it sounds like the voices are coming from inside. Great debunking!

Michelle and Britt try to further debunk the shadow figures in the restaurant, but with no luck. In the kitchen, they hear a strange rustling sound.
24302
It's a little freaky spending time in a jail where the evidence of a harsh reality are all around. Yet Michelle maintains a sense of humor while investigating the suicide room.
24303
Tango and Britt ask Dr. Butler to move the EMF reader to 1.0, and he does it! They ask him to knock on the wall, and they hear a rattling noise!
24304
Oops, nevermind. The knocking noises were coming from the ice maker, not Dr. Butler. And the electrical closet was causing the EMF spikes. Nice debunking by Tango and Britt.
24305
Adam and Amy conclude that the crashing noises people hear over the restaurant could be caused by the birds that seem to be living overhead. (The evidence is in the droppings!) That might put those ghost-fears at ease a bit.
24306
An element of danger! (Well, not paranormal danger.) Steve dares Tango to run over a chair, and Tango takes the bet for a mere $10!

Jason and Steve present all the collected evednce to Grayson, but informs the client that historical research revealed that his basement was used as a funeral home and not a morgue. So Dr. Butler would not have performed autopsies in the Rendall building after all. Phew!
