Haunted Pizza

In the late 1700s the town was a bustling seaport.

The stone building on the busy main street had been a morgue.

The bodies of departed pirates, sailors, farmers, politicians and the dead from every walk of life visited this place.

As the years moved on, a morgue on main street became unfashionable.

The businesses changed but the building remained and so did some of the spirits.

I purchased the shop a few years back, installed a wood fired pizza oven and made it into a quaint little restaurant.

I did not know the history then.

At night I lock up the place tightly. Chairs are moved, drawers are opened and nothing is damaged.

Once I found a note scrawled in French on a napkin. One time coffee was brewing when I came in early.

Customers say that the pizza is so good they get chills from eating it.

I don't think that that the chills are from the pizza.

This place has history. "If these walls could talk" is not just a saying around here.
