The Blakney House - Monroe,North Carolina

The old Blakney House is located on Franklin St. Believed to be haunted by William Blakney, a greedy miser who has hidden his fortune somewhere in the house. There is also rumored talk about a girl, perhaps related to Blakney, who watched her parents get run over from the upstairs window. The house was first renovated and remodeled about 15 years ago to house a
privately owned "Boswell's Restaurant." Prior to the remodeling,
neighborhood kids were told not to go around the house, but that might
have been just adults against trespassing. Once the restaurant opened,
employees began to report strange things, such as dishes (entire
cabinets full) relocated, tables being moved, and other odd anomalies.
One account, involved a luncheon on the 2nd floor in one of the reserve
rooms. Only two people were at the restaurant (it didn't open until
lunch) and they set up elaborate place settings for the luncheon. As
they went downstairs to start preparing further, loud crashes and bangs
were heard from the upstairs. Using the slave staircase (it's that
old), which is the only way to get up to that part of the house when
it's locked, they found the entire banquet room had been ransacked.
When you try to go upstairs, you get a very unsettling feeling - the
feeling of "I don't want to go up there at all." No business,
restaurant or otherwise, has been successful at the Blakney house, or
at least no business ever stays there for very long. The business
located there today makes a point of closing before dark, as they are
afraid to be in the building for "when the fun begins."
