THE HAUNTED PORT CAPE GIRARDEAU - Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Located in downtown Cape Girardeau on the Mississippi Riverfront, the Port Cape Girardeau Restaurant and Lounge is an historic piece of architecture with many interesting stories and, reportedly, a few ghosts. Built sometime prior to the 1830s, this building has been utilized as a warehouse and a legitimate river shipping/exchange facility. It is one of the oldest buildings west of the Mississippi. During the Civil War Era, Port Cape served as a Union Army headquarters - at one time it was even used by General Ulysses S. Grant. Port Cape opened as a restaurant back in the 1970s. Typical paranormal activity has been reported throughout the decades since: strange sounds, unknown footsteps, self-moving objects, orbs and mists, lights turning off/on inexplicably (that third floor light in the photo, btw, should probably not be on!), poltergeist mischief, etc. - with much of the activity allegedly happening on the second and third floors. The really intriguing paranormal accounts, however, are claims of spectral encounters with actual full-bodied apparitions that have appeared in the forms of phantasmal Union Officers and a ghostly gown-clad woman referred to as “Belle.” There have even been the occasional alleged sighting of General Grant himself! Port Cape Girardeau is a fantastic venue for food, refreshments, entertainment, ice cream, and fun. But it also just might be a great place to spot a ghost. Keep your eye on that third floor window if find yourself downtown at night - you just might catch a glance of some remaining ethereal echo from this place’s long-lost past!
