The Hard Rock Café in
Key West is a very busy place filled with tourists, but locals know this
building as a haunted house. In the room
upstairs, a ghost has been living or has been undead for quite a while now. His
name was Robert Curry and he grew up a block away in a big house. His parents
were William and Mary Curry who became the very first millionaires in the
island. William Curry turned Key West into the richest city per capita in the
U.S at his time. He was salvaging ships and he was often accused of
intentionally misdirecting ships on the reef, so he could make a lot of money.
No matter how he became rich, this family owned several successful businesses
in the island at that time.
His son, Robert Curry grew up and became known as a
very obnoxious, rich young man. He was the type of kid who walks over to you
and says “my birthday party is next week, and you better be there with a nice
gift, because some day I will be your boss”. By the time he graduates high
school, he could not get a date to go the prom. So, he goes to Miami for
college, and falls in love with a girl called Ann. They get married very
quickly and it seems like she marries him for the money. As a wedding present,
they get this house. In a few years, Ann becomes just like everyone in the
city, she hates Robert. What’s worse she falls in love with a rival of Robert
and she divorces him. Now if that not enough, Robert sucks at managing the
family businesses and they all start to fail.

| This is the room upstairs where the unfortunate incident happened |
As everything spiral downs, Robert curry
walks into this room one day, which used to be his master bath room. He quietly takes a
noose, and kicks the bucket - kicks a chair actually. The place where this hanging
light is, is the very place he hanged himself.

| The hanging light will start moving when people enter the room |
Today, chairs will fall down, and the hanging light will move, just like
you can see it moving in the video. This light will stop moving when people leave the
room. Nowadays, this room is used for private
parties, but the staff do not like coming up here alone, they try to come in as
a team. Several employees have quit working at the hard rock café after working
here late at night.
| The haunted room where the undead repeats the lamentable event, every night |
One guy, being a manager, comes here
early in the day. He is working downstairs all by himself, hears noise up here.
So he is curious, walks up and finds all the chairs strewn around, as if the
night staff did not do their job the night before. He puts everything back in
place and goes back down. He hears more noise, now he runs back up and all
these chairs are neatly stacked up on top of the tables. Needless to say, he
quit his job and stories like these can be heard a lot from former employees of
the Hard Rock Café.
