At an old tavern, some ghostly regulars visited
A large black crow swooped from the roof of the Fort Ground Grill onto River Road, then flew into the ochre foliage of a nearby tree as a magpie cackled among the rustling leaves, setting an eerie mood. Although the historic 1907 building has been quiet for a couple years, its resident spirits may still be making themselves known the way former employees remember. “I definitely think there’s spirits here, I really do," said Diane Beck, who worked at the Fort Ground Grill from 2016 until it closed in 2022.
