The Ghost of Frank Sinatra Still “Connected” (If You Know What I Mean)
NEW YORK, NEW YORK—According to a former busboy at Jerry’s on 61st Street in Manhattan, the ghost of Frank Sinatra, along with the ghosts of two old friends, Jimmy the Shoe and Bobby Two Necks, apparently have a late dinner and drinks inside the restaurant every night after the staff is gone. The source, who asked to remain anonymous, told this reporter that he first saw the ghosts, when, after coming out of the men’s room one night and discovering his boss had left him locked inside the building, he suddenly saw someone walk into the room he never expected to see in a million years.
“That’s right. It was Ol’ Blue Eyes himself, “ said the busboy. “I almost s**t myself. I had never seen a ghost before, then suddenly it’s Sinatra’s ghost no less. I felt my heart drop into my stomach. And let me tell you, those two guys with him, they weren’t no regular guys. They were, you know…Whatever. Anyway, I spent the rest of the night hiding behind the bar, hoping they wouldn’t notice me. The last thing I wanted was to end up in the East River in a body bag.”
The following morning, when the busboy told his manager about the scene he encountered, he was told his services were no longer needed and he could pick up his final check at the end of the week.
“It was like he didn’t want to discuss the matter. I also tried to bring it up to some of the waiters and waitresses and all they kept saying was, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about.’ That’s when I realized I saw something I shouldn’t have.”
According to hospital records, Sinatra’s friends, Jimmy the Shoe and Bobby Two Necks, both passed away long before the famous singer had in 1998. Jimmy the Shoe, a.k.a. James Nepolitini, met his fate one night in 1987, when climbing into a limousine that was, unbeknownst to him, wired with dynamite. Bobby Two Necks, a.k.a. Robert Bello, found his life cut short early one evening in 1981, while crossing 86h Street in Brooklyn. He was accidentally hit by a bus.
The unnamed source never returned to Jerry’s for his final check, insisting he was too afraid. Instead, he has made plans to leave the city and take a job in another, undisclosed part of the country.
“It’s not that I don’t like Frank’s music. I love it! My dad has a shrine of the man in his living room, for chrissakes! That’s how much my family loves the guy. And if anything, if Frank’s going to be parading himself around, risking being seen, he could at least go out to visit my mother and father out in Brooklyn. They’re not young people anymore and could use a little excitement, especially my mom. If he could go sing ‘Strangers in the Night’ for her, that’d be a real treat, something she’d remember for the rest of her days.”
When reached for comment, the management of Jerry’s, the restaurant where Sinatra had been sighted, said “there are no ghosts in Jerry’s. Period.” Two hours later, this reporter woke up in the trunk of a car up in the Bronx.
