THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Jonathan Pasco's is associated with reports of unexplained paranormal activity experienced by employees and patrons. Witnesses have described phantom footsteps, shadow figures, mysterious voices, and objects moving without explanation after closing. The historic building has developed a local haunted reputation.
This restaurant was once a residence, built in 1776, of Revolutionary War soldier Captain Jonathan Pasco. It has been furnished with memorabilia and antiques, and some say the ghost of Jonathan Pasco himself still calls the place home. The apparition of a tall, thin older man has been reported, and staff say they get a general uneasy feeling around the place. Doors are said to open and close on their own, and a paper towel dispenser in the ladies’ room sometimes runs amok and spits out paper towels. Cold spots have been noted here as well.
