+OverSword Posted April 17, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 17, 2014 This is an old vending machine that apparently is maintained by a ghost, since nobody is ever seen stocking it or collecting money from it. The article mentions mystery buttons which distribute random rare soda's but not mentioned in the article is that local legend has it that the mystery buttons will also cause the machine to spit out a rainier or olympia beer (two local brands originating in the 1950's) Here is an article with a picture of the fearsome vending menace 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keel M. Posted April 17, 2014 #3 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Just because no one has noticed it being restocked, doesn't mean it's not done by human hands. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OverSword Posted April 17, 2014 Author #4 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Just because no one has noticed it being restocked, doesn't mean it's not done by human hands. Nope. Definetly haunted.Actually if you look closely at the photo you can see it's attached to the concrete behind it with an 'L' shaped piece of steel. The concrete is part of the wheelchair ramp leading to the locksmith's shop and the vending machine has two shiny new pad locks on it so I say mystery solved. But still it is just one more little weird thing that makes my hood the coolest one in the city. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Topp Posted April 17, 2014 #5 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Easy, Guy gets vending machine, Most likely buys outdated soda by the pallet (Yes it is possible) and randomly puts the cans in, comes back once a month, fills it, takes cash. So what stopping some one from putting a webcam on it? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beelzebufo Posted April 18, 2014 #6 Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) This is pretty interesting; not paranormal though. One line I'm wondering about though: "Where can you even get Brisk iced tea in a can anymore?". You can find it pretty much anywhere where I live.

I am not sure that I would call this paranormal. But it's interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis914 Posted April 18, 2014 #8 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Now if they come out with the 1985 New Coke or TAB, I'll be a fan of this machine. I think I was the only one that liked the New Coke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jyre Cayce Posted April 19, 2014 #11 Share Posted April 19, 2014 It is my machine and I stock it from a tunnel under the ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razadia_the_Silver Posted April 19, 2014 #12 Share Posted April 19, 2014 We used to have a 'haunted' soda machine in front of one of the Winn-Dixies in Montgomery, AL. It spit out 2 Barq's rootbeers every time without fail for about 4 years before they fixed it. New managers suck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razadia_the_Silver Posted April 20, 2014 #14 Share Posted April 20, 2014 It was haunting their profit margin. That was my guess. They ended up removing them all together a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patient Zero Posted April 20, 2014 #15 Share Posted April 20, 2014 If i hit the root bear button and get a bag of hot fries then i'm calling in an exorcist. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
