The Comedy Store is a famous comedy club in Hollywood, California. It has been the venue of many famous comedy shows including Richard Pryor, Jim Carrey and Jay Leno. The comedy club is also...haunted.
Several workers at the club have reported strange events happening inside the club. A worker had finished setting up the all tables with a table cloth and some ash trays. She left the room for no more than a few seconds and returned to find that the table cloths and ash trays returned to their original places and the cloths neatly folded.
Alot of the events at the club revolve around comedian Joey Gaynor. He was usually the last person to leave at night. One night, while locking up, he noticed 2 candles were still lit. He went to blow them out and began to leave. He then turned around and noticed that the candles were lit once again. Another time, he was locking up and went to turn off the lights, which only took a few seconds. When he returned, he saw 8-10 chairs piled on top of each other in the middle of the aisle.
Another comedian, Blake Clark of Adam Sandler fame, was also a victim of the ghost. One night, while walking through the hall, he noticed a chair slide across the stage on its own. Another time, while talking with Joey Gaynor, Joey jokingly called for the ghost to show itself, then an ashtray began to levitate and fly across the room towards Joey.
Michael Becker, the guy who handles the Comedy Store's business affairs, also had an encounter. While on the phone in his office, he and his co-workers saw a man dressed in 1940's attire walk through his office and into another room. The man in the other room saw nothing.
Another time, Blake Clark and Joey Gaynor were leaving, when they saw a metal gate bend.
As a dare, Clark and Gaynor decided to go down into the basement which was rumoured to be haunted. While down there, they noticed a featureless figure hovering down there. The figure flew past them and the 2 comedians ran back upstairs.
It is believed that the ghosts have links to 1940's mafia gangs who's enemies were often killed and would often end up appearing as ghosts at such clubs.
