Bobby Mackey's Music World in Wilder, KY, is described as a famously haunted place, known for ghostly apparitions, unexplained sounds, unexplained footsteps, cold spots, and physical phenomena like scratches and touched sensations. The hauntings are attributed to multiple entities, including the spirits of Pearl Bryan and her lover's rival, Alonzo Walling, and the ghost of Johanna, a woman who is said to have died on the property. The location is also tied to a legendary "portal to hell" in its basement drainage well, which some believe is the source of demonic activity, including a reported possession. Visitors and staff have reported seeing shadows, apparitions, and hearing disembodied voices, footsteps, and music. Unseen hands have touched people, and others have felt nauseous or been physically scratched. The distinct scent of roses, associated with the spirit of Johanna, is often detected. Johanna: A woman said to have died by suicide, whose scent is a known haunting. A spirit blamed for pushing Bobby Mackey's wife, Janet, down the stairs. Pearl Bryan: A local murder victim whose spirit is also said to inhabit the building. The Basement Well: An old drainage well in the basement is referred to as a "portal to hell". The well is thought to be the origin of dark, possibly demonic activity, including at least one recorded possession.
