An article with Zack Bagan talking about Bobby Mackeys part 2. Zack is on Ghost adventures along with his cast mates. He says that this isn't some story. This show is about their lives and their passion for it.
Excerpt-
"Carl Lawson, the guy who was possessed there, just passed away. Bobby’s best friend just passed away. I’m not saying that any of these deaths are related to the haunting, but you gotta look at everything that has gone on. It’s a movie. It’s a real life movie. He is like the guy from From Dusk Till Dawn at the Titty Twister that allows people to go into his bar and for these evil things to feed
off of. He’s the only bar owner I know of that was ever sued by a patron of his establishment because he was attacked by ghosts. The plaintiff won his case, too.".....So would Zak and the crew ever head back to Bobby Mackey's Music World? "I don’t ever want to go back there because I’ve been dealing with a lot of health problems and a lot of bullshit ever since we visited there. They get you in different ways, man. I've been freaked out because of that. It hasn’t been that fun and I’m just done with that place. That's why you’ll see... you’ll notice in the new seasons and stuff I don’t really taunt that much anymore.I’m not going to lie to you; to this very day I am a little freaked out. I learned my lesson." I knew that something bad was having an effect on us and it stemmed from that
place. I hope everything is okay now, but really, I’m done with everything concerning that place."

Below is an excerpt of an article written by Michelle Mason, at the Occult Section. Michelle even went on a tour at Bobby Mackey's, he also talked to the new caretaker. His name is Matt Coates, he is also security and a sound guy too.
Excerpt-
" I met Matt Coates, the club’s caretaker, security and sound person, in the bar area, which is situated between the stage and dance floor, and the infamous mechanical bull. The former caretaker was Carl Lawson, the one whose experiences while working there and living in an apartment above the bar were well-documented in Hensley’s book. Lawson was allegedly possessed at one point and an exorcism was performed on him at the bar, so with the role must come a bit of apprehension. But Coates is pretty matter-of-fact about it all, despite his own experiences.“You name it, I’ve experienced it,” Coates says. He notes that, in addition to seeing and hearing things, he’s had his tool bag and other items disappear on him. He’s experienced a force that felt like arms throw him against a wall in the basement and says that he was at one point “mildly possessed,” with feelings of extreme anger and hostility that would only subside after leaving the establishment. He’s quick to point out that, before working at Mackey’s, he didn’t even really believe in ghosts, noting that “I’m the biggest debunker there is.” When probed about why he still works there, despite all that he’s witnessed, he just shrugs and says that he feels drawn to it.
