How did the Haunted Hamburger get its name, you ask? Is it really haunted? Come find out for yourself.
It all started years ago when HH owners, Michelle and Eric Jurisin, acquired the restaurant. The building, old and abandoned, was in need of great repair before it could be opened for your dining pleasure. This is when the hauntings began. As with all old, haunted buildings, when inhabitants take initial occupation, the spirits come to observe and greet newcomers. The Haunted Hamburger spirits were no different. During the construction process, tools started to go missing. More specifically, hammers. One hammer, two hammers, three hammers - all missing. Was this a case of bad memory loss? At first, it was thought to be. Then, the Jurisin's were confronted by the previous owner. "Any encounters with ghosts yet? What about missing hammers?", he asked. Shortly after this, the hammers began to reappear, showing up in the most conspicuous places.
What followed this was too 'in your face' to ignore. While in the middle of repairs, Eric remembered he needed to go upstairs to finish a project. Just as he reached the top floor, a door that he was standing next to slammed in his face. Yes, one could argue that a cross breeze is strong enough to slam a door. However, Eric had just sealed all of the windows with thick plastic and tape to keep the cold winter air out - there was no air current in the house.
What other odd occurrences frightened staff, owners and guests alike in the Haunted Hamburger? Cans flying off the shelves, or the hot water being turned on in the middle of the night? Distinct smells in the stairwell and even photographs guests have taken have captured the vague image of a woman.
Is the Haunted Hamburger really haunted? Find out for yourself - but leave your hammers at home.
