The Story

It wasn’t always scary at the old factory on Liberty Street. Years ago…the building was used to assemble giant pieces of machinery. Trains were welded together. Trucks were repaired. Farm equipment rebuilt. It was a very busy place during the growth of Audrain County.

Then one day it all stopped. Without warning, everything in the factory disappeared. One day, it was all gone. The machines. The tools. The people.

Dr.Phil O’brian, an onsite research scientist, woke up on October 13, 1966 as he always does. Kissed his kids and wife good-bye for the day. Clocked in at 8:00 am. Then vanished with 50 other employees and co-workers.

The local police and fire departments concluded after their investigation “..there were no traces of foul play or an accident..” “..all that was left were the clocks. All of them had stopped at 1300 hours (1 pm). Everything was gone!”

Built by Nathaniel Kellum back in 1847, La Carafe on Congress Ave, is one of the oldest bars in Houston. The building is said to be haunted by the ghost of an African American man who has been seen by many visitors. The building has a ton of history and has remained intact throughout the years. The building originally housed The Kennedy Bakery, served as a Pony Express station and was passed down by 5 generations of the Kennedy family before the current owners, The Wenglars purchased it.

La Carafe is welcome to ghost hunters. In October, they will even welcome guests with Seances.

Ghost Sightings

• The ghost of Pamelia Mann is said to push pretty women down the stairs. Mann ran the boarding house called the “Mansion House,” which was a questionable establishment. The bar employees think she is a lost spirit that was not able to cross over to the light.
• A ghost has been seen waving out the 5th story window by many guests.

Stop in and ask the bartender for a story or two. The employees and owners of La Carafe are open to telling ghost stories and many of the guests of Houston’s Market Square maintain that this is a hotspot for paranormal activity.

Legend of Raven’s Curse
There is a place near the outskirts of Centralia, IL that locals claim is haunted. Many years ago a wealthy land owner, Alexander Hemsworth, and his family lived on the property. Tragedy struck in 1935 when Hemsworth’s only daughter, a black haired beauty named Anabelle, was diagnosed with a severe mental illness. Rather than send her off to a state run asylum, Alexander instead had a state of the art asylum built behind the family home so he could monitor Anabelle’s care personally.

As years passed and Anabelle’s condition only worsened, Alexander began to conduct cruel and barabric experiments on the other patients in a desperate attempt to cure his daughter. One evening, Anabelle heard far off screams, followed the sounds, and discovered the truth behind her father’s “research”. In a fit of rage and disgust, Anabelle led the other patients in a riot. A fire broke out and quickly spread through the asylum trapping everyone inside. There were no survivors. When police went to question the family, they found everyone dead. Reports described the deaths as “heart attacks”. Many towns people believe that the spirits of the tortured patients came to the family after the fire and, quite literally, scared them to death.

Today, Hemsworth Estate and the Anabelle Hemsworth Asylum sit vacant. Many claim that the property is still haunted by the ghosts of the asylum patients and the Hemsworth family. Some say they have even seen the black haired Anabelle, commonly referred to as the Raven, wandering the grounds at night. Will you make it through the old family home and the decrepit asylum…or will Anabelle make sure you never leave? Can you survive the Raven’s Curse?
