EPISODE

6. Lake Club Horror

In Springfield, Illinois, the Lake Club is a monument to a bygone era – a dance hall where crowds once thrived on the sounds of classic jazz… and gamblers bet everything on a roll of the dice. Fortunes were won and lost here; entire lives built and destroyed in a single night. In 1974, Bill and Tom transform the grand old dame into a rock n roll nightclub, and immediately begin to learn her darkest secrets. Phantom music and inexplicable blasts of cold air make each of them believe that, even when they are the only living people inside the Lake Club, they are not alone. Others begin to share their fears, and one young woman bears the burden of a terrifying secret, a ghost's solemn warning: One of the owners is about to die.

Complete story — includes the ending

Bill and Tom buy a former dance hall in Springfield, Illinois, and, after much renovation, reopen it as a live rock 'n roll club. The customers in 1974 love the historic place but the staffers feel differently. Music seems to emanate from nowhere and chilling blasts of air frighten the owners and crew after hours. One bartender has direct contact with a threatening spirit that informs her that one of the owners is soon going to die. Through old photographs, she identifies him as a troubled former bartender who had committed suicide on the premises. Hence they call in a local psychic to help convince the bartender to cross over.
