Bobby Mackey's Music World

Located in Wilder, Kentucky sits an unassuming bar called Bobby Mackey's Music World. From the outside, it looks like a regular bar, but its history and the stories that come from Bobby Mackey's are anything but. This bar has been featured on numerous paranormal channels online and was even featured on the Travel Channel's Ghost Adventures, as well as Portals to Hell (which is hosted by rock legend Ozzy Osbourne's son, Jack).

From Slaughterhouse to Honky Tonk

The area where Bobby Mackey's Music World now sits has an eerie past and is also said to be home to a portal to hell (no thank you). According to the Travel Channel, back in 1850 the place where the bar now sits was a large animal slaughterhouse. With slaughtering animals comes a lot of waste (think blood, guts, etc...) so they built a large well to house that waste. The well is now the center of what's said to be a lot of paranormal activity. Researchers believe the slaughterhouse closed around the 1890s. Local lore says that around this area is where you can find a portal to Hell.

Today, Bobby Mackey's Music World is known as a popular honky tonk bar in the region. They host live country music weekly.
