THE STORY
Reported Haunting
This New York restaurant has earned a reputation for unexplained activity, including strange noises, moving objects, and ghostly encounters.
Manhattan Bistro is rumored to be haunted because of a murder and a well. It was near here that in 1799, Gulielma Elmore Sands left to elope with her secret lover, Levi Weeks, but her body was found strangled in a nearby well. Weeks was accused of the crime, but was acquitted. The well was found on the premises after some excavating; reports are uncertain as to whether the bistro is still in operation.
