La Carafe
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.

Eerie.. I’ve drank here before and plan to go tonight and i just now found out id haunted. Tonight shall be interesting…
I was there last night. it was a very warm night outside and in the bar as well, they keep the lights very low and the doors open. I was catching up with an old friend. We were well into our second glass of wine, when saw someone standing behind us, I turned around, no one there. At that moment, my right leg got extremely cold,and i felt this energy all around me. I told my friend to feel my leg, he could feel how cold it was – through my jeans. It was amazing.
