In 1979, The Sober Duck Disco and Rock Club in Springfield, Illinois was blessed by three priests. The priests said they blessed the establishment to dispel fears that the ghost of a bartender who killed himself there in 1968, haunted the bar.
The owner Tom Blasko claimed the prayers and holy water worked like a charm. He said the "restless soul" of bartender Albert "Rudy" Cranor haunted the place where he shot himself in the chest (or head) on June 27, 1968.
