Exclusive Nighttime Investigation of 'Haunted' Restaurant Stocky's Pizza

Justin Massoud — Thu, 26 Jul 2012 15:00:44 +0000

Some things go bump in the night. But inside Stocky's Pizza in Haughton, they're considerably louder.

The local restaurant has captured attention from media and ghost hunters alike after Stocky's employee Lori Evans produced creepy surveillance footage that showed ice scoops and bottles being inexplicably thrown to the floor. And that's just the latest in a string of paranormal activity dating back to the restaurant's opening earlier this year, she says.

Evans invited Erin McCarty, co-host of KVKI morning show Robert & Erin, to investigate the eatery after hours and prove -- or debunk -- her suspicion that a ghost really was calling Stocky's home.

This is the footage they captured.
