RACINE â A lady dressed in red. A maid. Screaming. Singing. A man in formal wear sprawled out on the floor, dead.
These were all images and sounds Michael Sorensen, a medium living in Mount Pleasant, said he experienced Saturday night at Social on Sixth, a micro-venue at 324 Sixth St., as a portion of an investigation with Racine Paranormal Investigators.
The inspection was a part of an initiative to find more places in Downtown Racine that may be haunted, so as to prepare to tour groups around during Halloween season.
RPI is a group made up of local people interested in all things spirits, but not the liquor kind.

Against the original checkerboard floor of the building â which was a Red Cross Drug Co., part of a YMCA and most recently was the home of Longshot Vinyl â the modern gray walls, the bar made out of vintage wooden speakers and the midcentury light fixtures make the space feel like itâs traveling through different eras, or maybe through different countries.
Joan Roehre holds a vintage chalice inside Social on Sixth on Tuesday. One of Roehre s goals for the micro-venue is to produce zero waste, so she has frequented thrift shops and collected many sets of antique and vintage tableware.Â
