Riley’s Fine Food and Drink
Riley’s Fine Food and Drink is located in Deer River, Minnesota. The restaurant has been known to hold the spirit of a woman who is referred to as the Blue Lady. Not too much is known about the property that the building sits on and the history of it. The Blue Lady is a spirit who likes crowds, since most of the times she appears is when there are many people around. For example, when there are many people around and the place is hopping, the Blue Lady likes to hit items off the tables and cause a ruckus of some sort.
The favorite items for the Blue Lady to play with are the boxes closed up to go to costumers who are bringing food home or picking it up. People have reported hearing the voice of the Blue Lady, but not understanding what she actually said. No one could be seen and no one was there upon further investigation. Staff members have also reported being touched by an unknown entity, presumably the Blue Lady. Most pictures taken at the bar area reveal orbs flying around, solidifying the fact that she likes to be around when there are plenty of people present.
