7 Haunted Restaurants Around the World

Christopher Michel

You're out for an intimate dinner someplace new-a friend of a friend recommended it-enjoying your meal and the oddly quaint atmosphere, when suddenly a chill runs down your spine. The hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Is it from the ash-crusted venison with dried cherry reduction, or the ashen-faced waiter with the eerie demeanor? The Zinfandel seemed spookily ethereal, but was the sommelier just a little bit…transparent? Has the waiter been unusually reserved, or has no one else spoken? And wasn't this place, way out at the edge of town, nothing but a burned-out building just a few days ago? It's possible that you're not just seeing things, but the restaurant itself is…. [scary music] HAUNTED! If you're eating at one of these restaurants, that's certainly the case. But be warned! Some hauntings are friendlier than others.
