Right before opening time, a waitress was walking in the back of the restaurant to check if all the tables were set. She suddenly saw a little boy under one of the boots and went over to him to see if he was alright. Suddenly the books on a bookshelf fell out with a bang and she looked away for a couple of seconds. When she looked back at the boy under the table he was gone.
She had just seen one of the residential ghosts she had heard stories about in all her years working there, and now she had seen the ghost herself. That was her last shift at the Old Spaghetti Factory.
Are you ready to explore the chilling history of The Haunted Old Spaghetti Factory? The haunted restaurant is located in Vancouver in Canada, and these eerie walls have been home to tales of ghosts, ghouls, and strange occurrences throughout the years as well as pasta.
From strange noises and flickering lights to sightings of mysterious shadows, there’s no telling what secrets this haunted restaurant has hidden away.
Located in Vancouver, The Old Spaghetti Factory is well-known for its alleged hauntings and is located in the cobbled streets of Gastown, the oldest parts of the city.
The Haunted Old Spaghetti Factory opened its door in 1970 and is located in the Malkin Building on 53 Water Street in Vancouver, Canada. The building has been a staple of the local landscape since 1887.
Its mysterious energy and eerie vibes have attracted many people to investigate its depths – some of whom claim to have experienced terrifying supernatural encounters while they were there and the former owner of the building, William Harold Malkin is said to haunt, not only the building, but Gastown as a whole.
Inside of the restaurant there are many old and vintage decorations, like an old trolley cart from 1904 that used to be on the streets of Vancouver.
One of the most notorious tales that haunt The Haunted Old Spaghetti Factory is that of the old trolley car, Number 53. At first glance it looks like it is just a part of the restaurant’s rustic decor, but this is the thing that makes it so haunted.
Some people claim that it is the ghost of the conductor that once worked in the tram that is haunting the restaurant and the tram he once worked in and that the hauntings first started when they put the tram inside of the restaurant.
Many visitors to The Haunted Old Spaghetti Factory have reported seeing a strange ghost in uniform inside of the tram after closing time.
Another ghost that is said to haunt the restaurant goes by the name of The Little Red Man or Looky-Loo and is the mischievous ghost with auburn hair or red clothing, depending on who tells the story.
He is said to be running around the kitchen and creeping out the staff by calling out their name. He has also been known to scare women in the restroom.
The third ghost is said to be a young boy around 11 or 12 with blonde hair wearing blue overalls. The staff have eventually named him Edward and he runs around in the restaurant after closing time or is seen trying to bend the cutlery or unscrew the light bulbs.
“We asked, ‘Can you swing a lamp or move some cutlery or move a chair right now to prove that you are here?’ Five seconds later a fork lifted up off the table, swiveled around, and dropped back onto the table. A lamp started swinging and chairs collided. This was all visible and audible to us,” Kris Newson, a former staff member in the restaurant, said in an interview.
One story goes that a waitress saw the young boy on her first closing shift and got so spooked out by the experience that she quit that very day.
There is also a legend about a young girl sitting by herself at a table, holding a balloon that no one knows. A friend of the general manager is said to have talked with her for a long time and said she had told him she was looking for her mother. But when another came over to the table, she apparently vanished right then and there.
Once the restaurant had a psychic that came and inspected the place to understand why there was such a presence of ghosts there. The psychic claimed that the ghosts were attracted to the place because of a vortex in the back of the restaurant as well as the spirits attachment to the decor of the restaurant.
Some say the concentration of ghosts in this single restaurants is because of the long history of both the building and the area.
