The bar and grill is famously haunted by the ghost of an outlaw known as ‘Norton’, who was gunned down by law enforcement officials. Objects have been known to move around of their own accord, cold spots are felt and a male apparition in a cowboy outfit has been seen on the staircase. Rumour has it that he once saved the place from a fire after the cook left the oven on overnight, and appeared to him at a later date reminding him not to make the same mistake ever again.

I lived up stairs from Texas grill. Was told it use to be a saloon and whore house. There were a few times I have heard a ghost in the hall banging on the walls having pieces of wall come down. Had someone open shower curtain while taking a shower. Would hear someone walking up and down the hall and out the door to the restaurant below.

My father, a self proclaimed psychic begin tapping into the energies in the building. Knocked our cousins cup outta her hand. I myself sensed someone was watching me and he began to see a child hiding behind a trash can back behind me. He approached her and she slapped his hand away and ran off. She is angry about her murder. He then began to be contacted by the outlaw, who said himself, he is not a outlaw, but a gunslinger, and just a cowboy. There are also spirits in the building across the street
