Its this bar in Wilder, Kentucky. A customer at my old job gave me a book on the place and I was absolutely frightened by it. She used to go to that bar when she was younger and experienced a few things. The book is called Hell's Gate : Terror At Bobby Mackeys's Music World by Doug Hensley
A little breakdown from what i remember from the books: There was a beheaded woman found and eventually 2 men were found guilty of the crime. They were hung but before they died they screamed out that they will haunt the place forever and pledged themselves to Satan or something. They never found her head. She is one of the ghosts trying to find her head. The 2 men haunt the place also. They are said to be violent. pushing people, attacking them, appearing in the men's bathroom.
It is also said to be a well in the basement because the place used to be a butcher/slaughter house so they would pour the blood and whatever down that well/hole. But people used to do the occult stuff there and you can hear voices from the well. It is also said that the woman's head may be down in the well.
it's just alot of info but here is a quote :
"Bobby Mackey's Music World was one of the scariest ghost busting jobs I've ever been on. Johana tried pushing me down a very steep stairway. I saw a ghost named Pearl holding her head and repeating over and over "Oh, my head. Oh, my head." There was a male ghost named Scott repeatedly yelling at her that it was her fault he and his friend, Alonzo, were dead. There were ghosts in the bathroom, on stage, in the caretaker's apartment, near the bucking bronco, and in the main bar. They were everywhere. The story of 'Hell's Gate' is compelling, and true."

Johana is apparently a ghost that has some sort of connection to Bobby.
This place sounds a tad dangerous but most exciting. 
Here are two links to watch a little docu about the place

This is one of the places i really want to visit. With a place that has a history like this, you are bound to find something...maybe even have a few personal experiences. I'm trying to get some people to come with me on a road trip to there.

Hey all here is the owners web page http://www.bobbymackey.com/ . I chatted with him some last year when we were thinking about going that way for a weekend trip. He is a down to earth fellow. They give tours of the place including the basement. I think it is during business hrs though. With it being a bar an legit investigation would be hard to get with the noise and all. Unless you can get it during closed hrs. It def seems like a very interesting place. I saw the documentary on this place. It is very creepy.

I've gone there twice, once it was closed and the other time I had my underage daughter with me and they wouldn't let her in, so I couldn't go and leave her in the car!!
Anyway, the story of the murdered girl is a little more than what's told here, it is actually quite sad. She was dating one of the two boys that were accused of killing her. She was poor but the boy's family was very influential. She got pregnant and (I'm not sure about this part but I've heard it this way) the two boys, one of whom was the son of a doctor, tried to perform an abortion on her and they killed her by accident. They removed her head and separated it from the body to try to cover up the killing and it is thought that they threw her head down the well as it has never been found and the body was found in the woods near the place. I used to have their names, I'll have to try to find them before the 26th.
One of the stories from more recent times is that there is the ghost of a man who wears a cowboy hat that is seen in the bathroom quite often, and he apparently loves a good bar fight and has injured a couple of guests. There is said to be a woman that roams the place and interacts with the guests, too, but she has her head on. Again, stories that I cannot confirm but have heard.
Bobby Mackey's is also listed on a national registry of haunted places somewhere, from what I understand, as one of the most haunted places in America.
I am asking my hubby to buy me a ticket to join you all there on October 26th. Left him sticky notes all over the house so he'll find them when he wakes up, so my fingers and toes are crossed. I'd love to investigate this place with you all!!!

Okay, here it is...
The pregnant girl's name was Pearl Bryan
The two young men were Alonzo Walling and Scott Jackson
Johanna was also pregnant when she hung herself in the building but I'm not sure why, something to do with a man. This was in the 1930's The other three were in the late 1800's.
Hope to see ya there!

Johonna killed herself because her man Robert "don't remeber the last name" was murdered so she wrote a poem and left it in her secret place and then took her own life...Bobbie MK wrote a song about her

Heres a small listing of history here: http://www.prairieghosts.com/bobby.html
I believe the guys name was Robert Walden, And thats the name of Bobby Mackey now, his mom changed his name shortly after he was born.
The history of Johonna is she was preggers by that guy. Her dad killed him so Jo poisoned the dad then commited suicide.
Hopefully I caught that correctly fom the show lastnite.
