Steve Garrison, a cook for the hotel’s Crystal Dining Room restaurant for the past fourteen years recounts, “I’ve lived here (Eureka Springs) all my life and I have never been one to believe this stuff.” That all changed two different mornings in the restaurant’s kitchen.
Morning 1: Garrison was “slicing and dicing” vegetables when he looked up and saw a little boy with “pop bottle” glasses, dressed in very old-looking clothes such as knickers, who was skipping around the kitchen.
Morning 2: When opening that same kitchen early one morning he flipped on the lights only to see “some or all of the pots and pans come flying off their hooks.” He was quick to add, “I don’t drink on the job. In fact, I don’t drink… period.”
