Haunted Murder Mystery Dinner
Presented by Newport Syndicate at Newport Syndicate Newport, KY
Haunted Murder Mystery Dinner For as long as the Gangsters Speakeasy has stood, whispers of the supernatural have lingered in its walls. Guests and staff alike have spoken of strange chills, disembodied voices, and ghostly footsteps echoing through the darkened hallways beneath the main floor. The most enduring tale is that of a young woman known only as Clara—a spectral figure said to drift silently through the shadows. No one knows her true name, but many claim to have seen her presence or felt her watchful gaze. Recently, an old journal believed to belong to Clara herself was unearthed. Its pages hint at the secrets of her fate, and perhaps even point to a hidden mystery still buried within the Speakeasy’s past. To this day, Clara’s spirit may hold the key to uncovering the truth behind Gangster’s Speakeasy most haunting legend. Hosted by Jonathan Carlisle.
