Facless Fred

This is called 'The Speakeasy'. It's a restaurant in the middle of miles and miles of corn fields in Holdrege, Nebraska. I mean it when I say this place is in the middle of nowhere.

So Fred was a farmer, naturally.  And apparently he was super hot. And he was big time ladies man. He was also married.


One day, Fred's wife got fed up with his all of his all his unfaithful acts. She killed him. And she cut his face off. It's hard to get ladies without a face, isn't it? I wonder what else she cut off...?

Anyhow, she dumped his body in a well. Later, an eating and drinking establishment was erected over the site... the grave  "Faceless Fred".


Supposedly, Fred is still around. Haunting the place and harassing the female employees and customers. Supposedly.


I went to the Speakeasy while I was in Nebraska visiting relatives. The onion rings were... well, to die for. And the ghost? I didn't feel anything. The staff let me go into the basement where faceless Fred body supposedly is and get some pictures. Other than a bunch of dust and boxes, there wasn't anything or anyone down there.


But it's a cool story, and a great way to get customers in.

The end.
