Meet & Greet at Chuck E. Cheese in San Jose

Whether or not our members want to join us for the showing of The Conjuring: Last Rites in the afternoon, everyone is still welcome for an early evening dinner at Chuck E. Cheese. This flagship location has had rumors of hauntings for many years.

For those who are not aware, this building originally opened a few decades ago as King Norman’s Kingdom of Toys, which appears to have had a change in ownership to become Magic Village. The photo above, which was found at PlaidStallions.com, was taken when the building was still a toy store. The proprietor of King Norman's, which was associated with a children's TV show, had 21 locations at the business's pique. Regardless, the toy soldiers seen above can now be found at the Children's Museum of Stockton. For more vintage pictures, feel free to go to:

After the toy store closed, I believe it went on to become a discotheque, but have been unable to confirm this. During this period, I understand the building was remodeled to open up the second and third floors to allow for a higher ceiling, but once again have been unable to confirm. If true, the disco was short-lived and the building eventually saw commercial success as Chuck E. Cheese. (Anyone who can help out with these facts, please feel free to speak up—not that ghost folklore has always been concerned about accuracy.)

There have been stories of the shade of spirit images turning up in photos and employees have cleaned tables only to turn around to find one reset for a party of six. From the parking lot, people could see the image of a little girl in a third-story window.

When we met there in the past, one of our sensitives did pick up on another presence and members did capture some unusual orbs with their cameras, as well as acquire some stories from staff.

It's been a while. Let's do catch up. The management doesn’t take reservations without us having to pay for kiddie birthday party accoutrements, but I’ll find a table on an upper level for us. BAGH hosts will be their flashing ghost necklaces and possibly a BAGH t-shirt. Dinner is Dutch treat.

If anyone is interested in purchasing any BAGH t-shirts, please let us know in the comments. They come in M-L-XL-XXL sizes.

This location is just off the Tully Road exit of Highway 101. Although it has plenty of parking, be warned the traffic around the Tully Road offramp of 101 is hideous.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again for a nice, casual dinner. Unfortunately, there's no guarantee this family-oriented establishment will be quiet.
