Brian Cobb, until recently the theatre director, was very willing to talk to us about some of his experiences. The former choir loft, up above the entry door into the chapel, is now used to house light and sound equipment for the productions. Sometimes after everything is carefully set up, the technicians take a break. When they return, they'll find electric cords unplugged, or tied in knots, or things disturbed in other ways. Whether the ghost is upset, or just playful, is anyone's guess!

Cobb doesn't seem to share Larsen's belief the lady was a former actress. He thinks maybe she is someone who had something to do with the church, or a person who might have lived on the site prior to the church's being built in 1913. One thing for sure, she has a favorite dress! She's always dressed in white, with a V neck, puffed sleeves, and a fitted bodice. That's about all that can be seen of her up in the choir loft.

Cobb told about one time when he was at the theatre during rehearsal and was sitting out in one of the pews (now used as theatre seats) watching the actors on stage go through their lines. Suddenly, he heard a husky feminine voice whisper in his ear … "Brian…Brian." Of course, no one was there. Another time, the other worldly lady begged "help me! Please help me!" This time Brian's partner, Paul Gaedke, who was with him in the auditorium, heard the voice as well.

Once, during an actual performance, the audience and cast were caught by surprise, when the female voice of an unseen singer was heard singing in the area where the audience was seated. This was during an especially quiet moment in the drama! Thus far, Cobb has only heard the ghost … unlike some of his performers, he has not seen her. He says he wishes he could glimpse her, because he thinks she is a good and benevolent, although lonely, little spirit. He thinks the place has "good energy, or vibes … because of her presence."

Brian said his father often came to the theatre to do some volunteer work for him, and whenever he would arrive at the building, his watch would stop running. As soon as he left, it would start running again! No explanation, of course.

During the summer of 1990 a tourist couple named Barbara and Edward Kulis from out of state came to the restaurant to eat. Their interest was caught as they rest the write-up about the "ghost" on the Alamo Restaurant's menu. Barbara told the Larsens she was inclined toward being psychic, and would certainly like to see the upstairs portion of the building. Now, there was no production or rehearsal going on right then, and the upstairs air-conditioner was shut off. It was HOT! Even so, as they climbed the narrow steps from the restaurant level to the theatre portion, Barbara said she had sudden cold chills. Her husband, who does not believe in psychic phenomena, also felt suddenly cold.

The pair wandered around the theatre a few minutes and then Barbara asked Ed to take a photo of the choir loft and entry door beneath it with his poloroid camera. He took two shots of the area. As soon as the photographs developed, an apparition of someone clad in a white dress could be seen. One photo is far clearer than the other. The Kulises had not seen any figure as they stood in the old chapel, but the sensitive film was able to capture a good likeness of the ghost. In the clearer of the two pictures, the head is just a fuzzy bit of white mist, but one can clearly make out a torso with a V neck, puffed sleeves, nipped in waist, and full puffed skirt. The figure is in the center of the doorway, but slightly rising, as the "exit" sign over the door is obliterated by the figure. The photos are framed now and hanging in the restaurant.

Barbara Kulis told the Larsens she was never frightened during her visit but she definitely felt a "presence" and only wished she could have somehow helped the spirit.

At present, Bill and Marcie ware running the Alamo Church Restaurant and the theatrical productions with guest companies and directors appearing there. Marcie, and ebullient, bouncy, friendly lady, and Bill, tall and sophisticated, are perfect hosts to their many restaurant clients … as they continue to serve good food and good drama in their old church locale. Evidently the "lady in white," whoever she is, enjoys their hospitality as well… because she's definitely still around!
