The building in Wheaton, Illinois operated as a funeral chapel before it became a restaurant, which is the whole basis of everything reported in it.

The lights toward the back of the dining room, on the right hand side of the kitchen, dim by themselves.

The back staircase is where staff accounts concentrate. It is used almost exclusively by employees, and walking up it people hear someone climbing behind them.

The women's lavatory has its own set of reports.

Funeral homes converted to restaurants are more common in America than most diners realise, and they produce a particular kind of staff folklore. The rooms were designed for viewings, the back stairs were built for moving things people were not meant to see, and the layout survives the change of use.

The restaurant is a working business.
