According to local lore, the Village Casino in Bemus Point is rumored to be haunted by a mischievous ghost who causes objects to disappear and dancers to trip. While the establishment is now a popular lakefront restaurant and music venue, it has a history dating back to the Prohibition era, which has contributed to its reputation for paranormal activity. Reports of paranormal activity include: The ghost is said to enjoy taking food from patrons and staff. Dancers on the floor have reported suddenly stumbling or tripping over unseen obstacles. Some visitors have reported sensing residual energy from the big band era, when the venue was a lively dance hall. While there are many local anecdotes about the ghost, the claims are considered folklore. The Village Casino is not widely known as a notoriously haunted location like some other sites in the state.
