One of the post's Military Police investigated an open door one night and deep into one of the tunnels he found an old setup of children�s toys, a small chair, a small kid's table and a few other things. There were also words painted inside an area under the building with no visible way to get inside and paint them there. The words didn't make any sense, and when they attempted to look for them on a later date they were gone, as if they�d never been there. They weren't painted over because the surface wasn't painted, and they weren't sandblasted off either.
On some nights when the weather gets colder, many strange noises are heard there. Movement is heard through the building, like furniture is being shoved around, repetitive banging noise, and sometimes faces are seen peering through the barred windows. an elder American Indian woman says the site was directly on the old trail of tears.

She sprinted out of the Cafe and locked the door with trembling fingers. She never closes by herself anymore. One time they decided to play with an Ouija board in the attic. Strange cries and howling burst through the room and continued on for over a minute, scaring the participants almost into shock. They never tried it again.
In the basement is an old well that some say contains the ghost of a child who drowned in it. It has an eerie feeling to it.
