One very busy fall Sunday afternoon on the balcony in walked a group of 10 people all dressed in fantastic Goth. It turned out that they were the big group that had performed the night before at the Castle. As things started to quiet down I was talking with the group. One lady told me that her Great-Grandfather has killed in Ybor City by 2 lesbian prostitutes. The one put her spiked high heal in his head. OMG I replied! I had heard about the working girls and their ghosts are still here.
I point to the balcony across the street then told them this story. The gangster, Charlie Wall had owned the building. There was a speakeasy on the 1st floor and working girls up stairs. The legend is that when Charlie Wall was forced to close, the 2 lesbian lovers & call girls committed suicide in the bath tub on the 2nd floor.
Today everybody that has ever lived in this apartment say… At night they hear 2 pairs of high heel walking down the hall, then thumps on the carpet, followed by click in the bathroom. Then they hear water drops. The Goth group were very impressed by the story. Shortly after they left there they all were on the balcony across the street. The lady came back and thanked me.
