There is a bell attached to a chain at the end of the bar. If you ring it, something is going to happen, said Karenna Mathis. They believe the old brothel is haunted with a spirit named Mattie. "She was the piano lady. She was also a working girl," Karenna said. "They found her dead upstairs." Since the family leased the old bar and restaurant, they have had a number of chilling experiences. Vern said he was always skeptical when his daughter or her boyfriend, Nathan Quincy, would recount stories of what they experienced while getting the business set up/Jeff Selle, Coeur d'Alene Press.
