Seattle Museum Draws out Ghost with Poker
|
November 1 - Who knew that playing poker could stir up the spirits and encourage
those who have crossed over to the other side to show themselves?
Apparently people connected with Seattle's Museum of the Mysteries, where each
Friday and Saturday night paying volunteers are locked in the museum
where they play poker in the hope of attracting a ghost believed to
live there.
The Museum, which is crammed with spooky things like Ouija boards, crop circle
photos, Sasquatch footprints and George W. Bush's actual double digit IQ, is supposed to house the phantom of Alexander Dunnovitch,
supposedly an avid poker player during the Prohibition early last
century.
It is thought that the Museum of the Mysteries was once a 'speakeasy' (illegal
bar) and venue where Dunnovitch died after being stabbed in 1939. It is
believed that his ghoulish soul still haunts the Museum even today.
For just $5, volunteers get to play poker from 10pm to midnight on Fridays and
Saturdays, hoping that the gambling vibe will pluck the specter of Dunnovitch
from the after life, just long enough to generate readings on the 'ghost sensitive'
electromagnetic field (EMF) detectors and perhaps sneak a photo.
Dunnovitch or 'the ghost' even gets his own chair, cards and chips at the poker
table. It is unclear, however, if Dunnovitch resembles Patrick Swayze or Stu
Unger. See you at the Museum of the Mysteries this Friday!
