When people ask, “Who could be haunting Tony Packo’s?”, most believe it’s someone associated with the family. Many wonder if one or more of the Packo family stops in for a quick visit once in a while. Could be. Or the haunting could be due to something that happened back in 1918.
Long before it was the world-famous Tony Packo’s Cafe, the building was home to Munding Sheet Metal. The Mundings lived on the second floor.
Robert Munding was not a good man. It was alleged he would often mistreat his wife. When this mistreatment caught the attention of Norman, Mrs. Munding’s brother, he convinced her to seek a divorce and get away from him. When Robert found out what she was planning, he started in on her, causing her to scream out for help. Norman rushed to her aid and brought nine of his little friends with him.
Robert Munding was violently sent into the Great Beyond, in 1918, in the very same building where Tony Packo’s operates today. Could this be the true reason behind the strange activity that’s often reported? I think it’s more than possible.
