La Carafe
Posted by | Posted in Haunted Places | Posted on 06-01-2009
La Carafe is located in Houston, Texas and sits on the original foundation of the oldest commercial building in Houston. The building was built in 1866 for a baker named John Kennedy, who had come to Houston in 1842. The building originally served as a steam bakery and was called Kennedy Bakery. The Kennedy family continued to own the building until 1987, when the current owners bought the property. It has been named La Carafe since the 1950s. The building is haunted and the most famous ghost is a former bartender named Carl. Many staff members and visitors to La Carafe have either felt the presence of Carl or saw him looking out of the window on the second floor. There are other reports of cold spots, objects moving, and the sound of footsteps from upstairs.
