The shadow was dark and appeared to take the shape of a human figure, which didn’t seem possible considering the abundant overhead lighting in that area of the restaurant. Some said it could be a bug on the lens, but the shadow looks pretty big to be a bug.
In another chilling occurrence, a stack of Styrofoam cups slid off a shelf on their own, hitting a worker on the head.

The strange phenomena shook the owners so much, they decided to call in a team of ghost hunters to investigate. While the findings of their report aren’t available, the video still remains.

Judge for yourselves. Do you think the video proves paranormal activity in the restaurant? Maybe a visit to the Cascade Maid-Rite is in order. Even if you don’t see a ghost, you’ll still get to eat some tasty food!
