THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Dating to the early nineteenth century, Cork Street Tavern has accumulated decades of ghost stories. Employees have reported unexplained footsteps, moving objects, and apparitions believed to be connected to the building's long history.
The restaurant building here dates back to 1827, and Cork Street Tavern by name to 1985. Two ghosts are said to reside here, John and Emily. John Mann’s spirit wears a long black frock coat, and Emily’s voice is often heard calling John’s name. The ghosts play tricks by moving objects within the restaurant and occasionally lock a patron in the women’s restroom; one more of the many interestings thing to note about this restaurant is that a female patron is said to stumble, but not fall, every day upon entering a certain part of the old section of the tavern.
