  Ghosts halt restaurant deal

  September 9, 2005

  ORLANDO -- The landlords of an entertainment complex are suing two restaurateurs for refusing to move into a building because they say it's haunted.

  People who worked at the building have reported seeing ghosts or apparitions, said Lynn Franklin, attorney for the restaurateurs. "It's very serious," he said Thursday.

  The lawsuit filed by owners of the Church Street Station says an offer of an exorcism was refused. "I asked them if these were good ghosts or bad ghosts, and if they were good ghosts why it was a problem," said David Simmons, an attorney for the building's owners.

  Christopher and Yoko Chung, the owners of Amura Japanese Restaurant, backed out of the lease.

  Franklin said Christopher Chung's religious beliefs as a Jehovah's Witness required him to "avoid encountering or having any association with spirits or demons."

  Sounds like story line for one of those lighthearted U S law firm series. Life is stranger than fiction.... I would have thought it better to argue on a businesslike basis. Since this seems to be commonly known locally the property is unsuitable as a business premises. . Quite enough to put off the customers who do not want spirits upsetting their sushi.
