History & local legend
A ghost story associated with the former 611 Records shop at 611 South Fourth Street in Philadelphia begins in the apartment above it. A woman named Nicole was visiting a friend there when the bathroom door creaked open. Looking across the street while washing her hands, she saw a boy and a girl watching from a window.
Nicole later realized that the building opposite was a nightclub, open that night, which made the children's presence seem strange. She also remembered an unpleasant damp smell in her friend's apartment.
Two years later, a new coworker named Julia mentioned having lived above the record shop. As they compared details, Nicole recognized the same front apartment. Julia remembered the smell and a bathroom door that kept opening. She also described seeing two children running through the apartment.
