Investigation will be from 7pm to 3am.

The storied history of the Chariton, once owned by the Wildlands of St. Louis, Missouri, is marked by intriguing events. It began with a robbery committed by two men who locked the owner of the soda parlor inside an icebox. The Chariton underwent various transformations, operating as a soda shop, barbecue restaurant, and cocktail lounge.

The location has strong ties to Speakeasies, underground connections, and Prohibition-era activities. The Wildlands owned the restaurant until 1964 when the family sold it to Joe Tangaro, a former professional wrestler with connections to the Mafia. During Tangaro’s ownership, the Chariton was known for bare-knuckle fighting, backroom gambling, Mafia dealings, and frequent reports of people falling down the stairs.

The property is also associated with shadow figures, unexplained noises, and cold spots. Some believe that spirits from the Chariton’s Prohibition-era past may still linger, particularly if illegal activities were committed there. Visitors can still witness the remains of a burned-out body on the floor and the lingering bullet holes in the walls.
