I worked at Sally's in 1996, which became R and R and was the Pizza Hut that Mary Powers was killed at in 1977. The murder was something that was talked about often but I had not seen anything weird before the day I saw her there. I was opening up alone that morning, not a care in the world, as I was walking around to the end of the bar to disable the alarm there she was, just standing there. Just then the Coors guy pulled up for a delivery and I told him what I saw. He got all excited and talked me into going back in, we checked the whole bar out and saw nothing. I never saw her again after that but I know what I saw that morning.
She was not bloody or disfigured in any way but had on a white dress with flowers. She looked peaceful. I jumped so hard I gashed my knee into the grill, turned the alarm off, grabbed the phone and ran outside to call Sally.

Old Northwest Hospital Tales
