Buffalo’s Town Ballroom is registered as one of the area’s most haunted places. If only the walls of 681 Main Street could tell the stories of gangsters, bootleggers, show girls and other souls who supposedly still lurk in the building. Luckily, since the walls can’t divulge their stories, there’s someone who can. Mason Winfield (pictured), WNY’s premier ghost hunter and author of a series of books on his supernatural studies and findings, will be the guide for a Friday the 13th event set to uncover the secrets behind this building’s decades of psychic folklore. The evening includes a talk of the building’s history, a ghost walk tour of the facility, psychic readings and more. Proceeds benefit the Landmark Society of the Niagara Frontier. The ghost of Al Capone (a frequent visitor to the establishment) might even be glimpsed playing cards in his favorite spot in the Town’s fabled basement. Who knows for sure what lurks and what kind of ghoulish merriment might ensue? Find out for yourself!

Friday, January 13 at 7pm. Town Ballroom, 681 Main St. (852-3900). $10-$12. (call 655-6663 for info).
