Bobby Mackey Country Music Singer and Owner of Bobby Mackey's Music World to Discuss its Haunted History

PHILADELPHIA, April 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Bobby Mackey's Music World in Wilder, Kentucky, probably isn't the first place that people think of when they hear the phrase "most haunted."

Bobby Mackey's Music World didn't start out as a nightclub or a bar, but rather, an old-fashioned slaughterhouse. Built during the 1850's, it provided meat for southeastern Indiana, southern Ohio, and parts of northern Kentucky. Animals were slaughtered on the upper floors, while tubes and a complex drainage system allowed the unusable pieces and blood to run into the basement. This trough that held the pieces still exists today, though the original building is long gone.

The slaughterhouse shuttered its doors during the 1890s, but people continued to whisper of the goings on there. There were stories of Satanic cults that used the building for their practice of the Dark Arts, which included animal sacrifices. Since the building was designed to slaughter animals, there's no doubt that the cults found it quite easy to practice animal sacrifice there.

Some claim that the building was used by locals to practice their cult rituals and sacrifices in private, away from hidden eyes. It was even rumored that some high ranking residents participated in those rituals. In 1896 the real story of what went on there became public knowledge and shocked nearly everyone in the area. The real story, and the one that spawned dozens of ghost stories, is the real story of what happened to Pearl Bryan.

Pearl Bryan was raised in Greencastle, Indiana and became pregnant in her early twenties. Being an unwed mother was less than desirable at the time, especially in a wealthy family such as the Bryan's.

Jackson was also from a wealthy family, and had been taking classes at a local dental school. When he learned that she was pregnant, he immediately told her that she needed to have an abortion. As abortions were highly illegal at the time, the procedure had to be done in complete secrecy.

Be sure to tune in on April 18 to hear Bobby Mackey discuss this story and more.
