Several malevolent ghosts roam Bobby Mackey's Music World at 44 Licking Pike in Wilder, which is across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, about 1.5 miles south of Covington on Highway 9. The dance hall is located just across the Ohio River from Cincinnati. Country singer Bobby Mackey converted an old warehouse into a dancehall in 1976, and ever since he had it renovated, people have been seeing ghosts dressed in old-fashioned clothing and cowboy attire. Last year, a customer was accosted by a ghost in the men's restroom. The man was washing his hands at the basin when someone kicked the trash can, and he turned around to see who it was and encountered a tall ghost wearing a cowboy hat. He says the ghost threw him to the floor and broke his arm, and he's suing Bobby Mackey for not getting rid of the malevolent spirits in his building. That there are ghosts there comes as no surprise. The building was constructed in the 1850s and was used as a slaughterhouse. A deep well was dug in the basement to collect animal blood and body fluids, and when the slaughterhouse closed, Satanists used this Well of Blood for rituals. In 1896, two Devil worshippers beheaded a woman and used her head in their ceremonies. Before they were hanged, the men were offered life sentences in exchange for disclosing the whereabouts of the missing head, but both refused, claiming that to do so would bring the wrath of the Devil himself. The cursed building was a speakeasy in the 1920s, and several unsolved mob murders added more violence to the site. So far, 30 witnesses have signed affidavits testifying to ghostly phenomena at the nightclub, and one of the employees became possessed and had to undergo two exorcisms.
