Firehouse13

Now a hipster haven, an art gallery and music venue, Firehouse13 was, as recently as the early 1970s, an actual firehouse. Ironically, or crudely, or obviously, the attached stable caught fire in 1895 during a governor's ball to which all of the firemen had been invited as honored guests. 30 horses died in the fire.

Guests at the current Firehouse13 report hearing the stamping, neighing, whinnying, and, sometimes, pained screaming of a group of horses, along with smells of manure and hay. No reported harm to the living.
