Dear Ghost Enthusiast,
Located in the heart of Halifax, this dining establishment serves up more than just exceptional meals; it dishes out doses of the paranormal regularly. But before it became the go-to restaurant for both gourmets and ghost-seekers, the building served as a school and later, as a mortuary for Titanic victims, weaving a rich tapestry of history with threads of the macabre.
As legend has it, the spirits of those who were once prepared for their final journey in this very building have decided to stick around. Perhaps they too have developed a taste for the grilled Atlantic salmon, or maybe they simply aren’t ready to leave the scenic views of Argyle Street just yet.
Diners and staff alike report strange occurrences that go beyond the usual kitchen mishaps. Glasses inexplicably shatter, silverware moves of its own accord, and mysterious reflections appear in the windows. Some have even heard whispers when no one else is around—a soft murmur just audible over the clinking of dishes.
The most spirited tale involves the apparition of a woman in Victorian attire, often seen in the dining area, disappearing as quickly as she appears. Whether she’s waiting for a late guest or just enjoying the ambiance, her presence is a reminder of the building’s layered past.
But fear not—these ghostly patrons prefer to observe rather than disrupt. Many guests report feeling a curious cold spot near the bar, where the temperature drops in a sudden chill—perhaps a spectral signature of one of the former mortuary’s clients?
So, if you’re ever in Nova Scotia and in the mood for a night out with a twist, the Five Fishermen Restaurant promises a dining experience that’s both delicious and otherworldly.
Until next week, keep your eyes open and your flashlights handy. You never know when the past might pop up for a visit.
