Main Street Galleria resident Ghosts

The Main Street Galleria's resident Ghosts have been featured on ABC, CBS, Discovery Channel, Discovery Magazine and The Examiner of Topeka "Dining with Ghosts" Our ghosts have earned a reputation far and wide. Come to the Main Street Galleria and check them out for yourself.
Below is their stories.

One of the most famous ghosts is Captain James D. McCardy, of the 7th Cavalry in Richmond, Virginia of the Confederate Army during the Civil War.
His writing desk bearing his name is on display in the Galleria. The name plate on the desk, bears the Captain's name and the date 1861, Richmond Virginia.
When the owner of Main Street Galleria purchased the Civil War era writing desk, she did not know that she had acquired more than just the desk. The ghost of Captain McCardy came with it.
The Captain enjoys playing tricks on people, electricity turning on and off. The front door dead bolt unexpectedly locking during business hours. Many of the ladies feel his presence with unexplained goose bumps.


Beno and Creola
The building which houses Main Street Galleria was originally built in 1897. Beno and Creola Hillix originally owned the building. They lived upstairs and ran a pharmacy, soda fountain, and sold a variety of items on the main floor. The kids of Weston would come to the soda fountain and talk and have fun. Beno would stand at the pinball machine, smoke cigarettes and keep an eye on the kids.
Once in awhile we smell the cigarette smoke, right where Beno stood at the pinball machine.
Creola talks to us now and then, she seems worried about who is going and coming.
