The Ghosts of the Pharmacy Museum in New Orlean
A view of the haunted Pharmacy Museum
Louis J. Dufilho, Jr., originally owned the building and, in 1816, he became the first person to pass the licensing examination, “making his pharmacy the first United States apothecary shop to be conducted on the basis of proven adequacy,” the museum’s website states.
However, Dufilho does not haunt the pharmacy. Instead, New Orleans lore suggests Dufilho sold the store in 1857 to Dr. Joseph Dupas, a physician of dubious standards who is the alleged resident spirit.
The ghosts is said to be Dr. Dupas. Supposedly Dupas “imposed shocking experiments on pregnant slaves,” and other people have stated that he performed voodoo rites. Today, it is said that Dr. Dupas' ghost haunts the Pharmacy Museum after it closes. His ghost is seen wearing a brown suit. His ghost appears to be of a man in his mid sixties and short and stocky with a mustache. His spirit is responsible for throwing books, moving items that are on display in the Museum, and triggering the alarm system. A paranormal team who spent time here said that pregnant women, in the presence of this evil entity, are very susceptible to empathic physical reactions.
Spaghetti Warehouse Houston Texas
The building was originally the Desel-Boettcher warehouse, built in the early 1900s, and was bought by the Spaghetti Warehouse in 1974.
For the Italian foodies you have to come to Spaghetti Warehouse. Not only is this restaurant home to many resident ghosts but it’s one of the most haunted places in the whole of America..so even if you're not a foodie, this place is definitely worth a visit.
This now a bustling Italian restaurant was once a pharmacy back in very early 1900’s.
“The ghost tales center on a young pharmacist who was dedicated to his job. He was busy with a pile of paper work with invoices overflowing upon his desk. Grabbing a stack of the files, he headed for the back elevator. Without looking, he stepped into the dark, open elevator shaft and fell several feet to his death.
When the man didn’t return home in time for dinner that evening, his adoring wife began to worry. She hurried to the warehouse hoping to find her husband busy at work. Instead she found a found a group of people standing in and about the building talking about a tragedy that occurred there. Inside the warehouse she found the remains of her beloved husband crumpled at the bottom of the elevator shaft. The distraught woman died at her home about a year later. Her family believes she died of a broken heart.”
