St. Petersburg, FL – May 13, 2021 & October 2021
The Melting Pot had long been a site where I wanted to investigate. I had been to the location multiple times for nearly 20 years, documenting the stories that I heard about the location. When it closed during the COVID year, I feared that we would never get to investigate the building. However, when the location was purchased by a new owner and articles were put up online, I started to post inquiries into the legend of the haunting. The business owner reached back out to us and invited us to do a paranormal investigation. And thus the SPIRITS of St. Petersburg were finally able to check off a long term investigation goal on May 13, 2021.
A reporter came with us and a summation of the investigation can be found through her article, as well as prior archived research for the SPIRITS of St. Petersburg quest.
“Slinky Sara” and….well, never mind.

Nov. 27, 2019: We were told two new things. One is that the beam at the top of this image is where the gentleman hanged himself in the haunted room. The other is that when the Melting Pot purchased the building, it came with original Gresham clocks which are hung in one of the dining rooms.
