111486 Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 Is anybody aware of this, or are these people just trying to get in the Haloween spirit? Spaghetti Warehouse - Houston Named Nation's 6th Scariest Haunted Spot By Citysearch Thursday October 28, 10:28 am ET HOUSTON, Oct. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Citysearch names Houston's Spaghetti Warehouse, one of the nation's scariest haunted spots. Celebrate Halloween with Spaghetti Warehouse and its ghostly, uninvited guests. "We have had many sightings of ghostly activity," said David Wierman, president of Spaghetti Warehouse. "The building used to be an old produce warehouse, and we are aware that several of their employees died in the back elevator shaft. The rumor is that the families of these men spend their days looking for the men." "There is activity happening daily, for example someone hears their name being called, yet no one is there," adds Sandra McMasters, the General Manager of Spaghetti Warehouse. "Often the elevator lights will flicker, objects move without any logical reason, and employees see a ghost like lady in a white gown throughout the restaurant all the time. It is also believed that many spirits are present due to the various antiques that adorn our restaurant. I am a believer!" The Spaghetti Warehouse is located at Commerce and Travis in downtown Houston, and offers haunted tours. An array of antiques, roadside advertising signs, a real trolley car, stained glass windows and tiffany-style lamps create the environment. The restaurant generates its appeal via a collection of authentic memorabilia and furnishings collected from domestic and foreign sources. In over 20 years, the Spaghetti Warehouse has served millions of customers, and helped the residents of Houston celebrate countless momentous occasions including Halloween! Guests are invited to take a haunted tour. Call for details. Spaghetti Warehouse operations are managed by Consolidated Restaurant Operations, Inc. (CRO, Inc.) of Dallas, Texas. The restaurant is located at 901 Commerce Street in downtown Houston. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssullivan Posted October 29, 2004 Share Posted October 29, 2004 I've heard many stories before about that place, including how an upstairs dining room that isn't used often frequently has all of its chairs and tables moved around when closing time comes, even though nobody has been up there. Employees will put the furniture back in order and by closing time the next evening the room will be a mess again. Supposedly a ghost is often seen in one of the restrooms and some employees refuse to go into that restroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 A lot of people believe that this place is really haunted and it might be. After all it is sitting right on one of the oldest spots in Houston. If I remember right Houston was pretty much founded right there. Boats use to load and unload their cargo and customers right there. I am sure that the spot has a lot of history to it. So if anyplace in this city was to be haunted then that place would be.I do not think that it is just a ploy to get business for halloween. Ghost hunters have been exploring that place for years. And from a business point of view it makes for some good free advertising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great Hizzy! Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I've never noticed anything even remotely haunted about it. I actually think it has one of the more charming interiors of all the places downtown. Of course, now that I say that, my next trip will have some el freako thing jump off that'll be on the news with pictures of me running for my life.Heh.

Subdude Posted November 18, 2004 Share Posted November 18, 2004 I'm sorry, but that article reads just like company PR. It is also believed that many spirits are present due to the various antiques that adorn our restaurant. I am a believer!"By that logic antiques shops would always be haunted.

luvarch Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 I have heard from a few people that this place was haunted? Any stories or possible disbeliefs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasHome Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 Never heard that but if a ghost eats, they are in the right place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted July 22, 2005 Share Posted July 22, 2005 There have been a few reports, and they have brochures inside for a ghost tour which meets there, then works its way through the city. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasHome Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Interesting. Who are the ghosts supposed to be? Did people die in the building or did they just take up home there because they like the food? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 It is mainly the upstairs area that is haunted. And about all I have ever heard people talk about is cold spots, things moving occasionally and on occasion a figure or 2 appearing to people here and there through out the building.

TexasHome Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Neat. Next time we are in the area we will have to look further into this. Cold spots. Interesting. My wife says she remembers reading and hearing something about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowspark Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I took the Ghost Walk tour and yes, we stopped in at the Spaghetti Warehouse where Sandra mentioned the cold spots & other ghostly happenings. There are apparently several other "haunted" places in Houston which she covers on the tour. It was a couple of years ago when I took the tour and I don't remember much of it now, but it was definitely a fun experience.Discover Houston Tours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbigtex56 Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Given Houston's pattern of tearing down old buildings, I'll bet the real estate market is getting pretty tight for ghosts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that place any good. I have found that Carrabas, Romanos, and Paulies have the best S&MB's in town. But a place called Spaghetti Wharehouse has to have some good eatin ?? Just wondering.

GREASER Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I go jogging along the bayou several times a week, always wonder about the concrete between the Spaghetti Whse and the bayou. On both sides there is alot of concrete with huge posts that look like they are there for boat tie offs? But they are huge and fairly high above the water. It doesnt look like there is available access across from the S.W. I had to go thru quite a bit of overgrown brush to get over there. It does look like it was/is used for something...anyone know???? Will post about the bums down there camping in another post Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't recall anybody EVER using them, however. I've always wondered how the city would respond to a houseboat that decided to lay anchor there.

Highway6 Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 Hehe interesting.Would a houseboat in the bayou have to pay property taxes ? Would COH have the authority to tell them to move ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
