The former prostitute called Lydia is to persecute her brothel, red onion in Skagway in Alaska. The bar, still satisfying its splendor as a home of pleasure, intends to keep her memory alive.
Passing next to the corner of 2. And Broadway on Skagway in Alaska, the red onion stands as a relic of golden rush of Klondike after finding gold in Yukon. Above the belt is the oil image of the Madam above the belt, a nod to the “doll system”, which was in place to show off a good girl who worked there when it was a brothel.
Still today, waitresses serve pizza, nachos and drinks under a vast show of postwas for many tourists of cruises coming to the city. Of course, waitresses do it in their corsets and Halk, not forgetting about the beginning, and the story of a storm standing behind the storm is said to be haunted.
Brothels in gold fever
Founded in 1898, Saloon was once a vivid brothel that has tired miners. Over 100,000 people tried to find gold, few. It was said that it was one of the best Bordellos in the city! What distinguished him was his unique system covering dolls: ten dolls representing working women, also known as “dirty pigeons”, were displayed at the bar. When the customer chose a woman, her corresponding doll was placed flat, signaling her inaccessibility. After her client's departure, the doll was turned to the vertical position, indicating that she was ready for the next one.
The price was $ 5 for 15 minutes. The girls earned $ 1.25, the goalkeeper earned $ 1.25, and you earned USD 2.50.
Fast Forward, Red Onion Saloon, moved to a vivid bar and restaurant, but maintains his historical essence as a woman owned by a woman.
The upper floor, preserved as a museum, offers visitors insight into the past of the brothel, along with original furniture and artifacts, and where you can learn about characters such as Soapy Smith, Skokum Jim and Klondike Kate. However, not only the artifacts that remain – a lot of stories, especially Lydia, a former lady about the establishment.
Visiting the red onion of the living room
Lydia's spectral presence is a common topic among both guests and employees, and was even transformed into a trip to ghosts. Reports with frigid spots, unexplained steps and a clear smell of floral perfumes floating through the corridors add an amazing atmosphere of the living room. Because the restoration has retained many furniture, dresses, fans and decorations, there is definitely a climate of the ongoing history, as well as ghostly. When they removed the floorboards, they found many valued women hidden women, forgotten for so many years. Could it be something that keeps them here?
But who was she? Although she talked a lot about her, little is known about her, even if Lydia is her name, because it is the name passed by employees. Who was she? A lady who worked at the plant? Who stayed for a moment or who died while working in a brothel?
It is said that for the first time an employee with a clear face appeared, just like what could give you untreated syphilis, although these are more speculation. There are also stories about her reference to her own life when she learned about her untreated disease.
Some even claimed that they saw her revelation, elegantly dressed, gliding through the corridors. It is said that he persecutes at the top and wears a black dress, odorous perfume, sometimes helping watering plants.
It is said that the police were called to her, thinking that someone broke in when he heard something that was happening at the top. The police went to check and saw something flowing down the corridor and to the room, which was said to be her. When they continued to study, they found nothing.
Did it happen? It is worth noting that there was no actual police relationship about this call, and the details are unclear.
Other ghosts of the salon
Over the years, Lydia is not the only ghost guest and talks about employees. Some say that, apart from the caring energy of Lydia, there is a shadowy and malicious spirit known as John. It is believed that he is a former goalkeeper who was stabbed to death by one of the prostitutes who harassed.
Nothing has been proven, but the stories about the living room seem to grow. Trips of ghosts around the living room often leave visitors to chilling stories, from flickering lights to objects moving themselves.
