He said late on a Friday night when he was the last person in the kitchen and the owners were out in the dining area he cleaned up and walked out of the kitchen. The second one I heard was when a buddy of mine was a dishwasher there when we were in high school (late 80's). When she called out again the door opened and no one was there. She called out asking to let her out but no one said anything. It felt, she said, as if someone was holding it. She knew she was the only person in there at the time and when she finished and unlocked the door to go out she couldn't get the door open.
She said she was in the stall and felt goosebumps on her arms all of a sudden. My sister had this personally happen to her when going in there.
They also have had reports of the one stall in that bathroom sticking.well being held shut when the female tries to leave it. They think it has something to do with the lady in Blue. It's always unnaturally cold and they can't seem to keep it warm at all. I don't know if you heard this but they've always had trouble keeping the womans washroom warm. Also a lady in blue walking in the woman's bathroom as well. I do know and have heard of the little girl being seen on the steps playing. I personally know the owners son of Jester's Court now and had friends work there while in High school (back when it was called The Murray House). I read what you had on Jester's Court and thought I'd mention that I grew up in Port Perry and know a little more about the place.
More disturbingly, there were reports of an angry looking older man looking out at the departing guests from the upstairs windows even though the second floor was vacated at the time.ĭo you have your own story on The Jester's Court?

In early March of 2000, the Torontoghosts group did a WONDERFUL "Meet n' Greet" at this particular restaurant and had a great time! While there, several psychics and sensitives felt the presence of a little girl in the stairwell leading from the main restaurant to the second floor as well as the lady's washroom. The bartender was an engaging talker and seemed used to being asked about the hauntings. The bartender told me of dozens of events that had happened to her, many of which occurred before witnesses: salt shakers being fired across a table paintings on the wall that spin taps in the bathroom that turn on by themselves (apparently, the water that flows during this occurrence alters in intensity to match the flow of whoever is urinating, so this seems to be a poltergeist with a sense of humour). It's called the Jester's Court and, having nothing better to do, I drove out there that evening. Last summer I was reading a book about Ontario hauntings (Terry Boyle's Book.) that mentioned a pub in Port Perry.
