Fatal and Melancholy Affair
The tragic tale of Laura Schafer and Charles Tennesson.
Here's something sweet: Laura Schafer's father was a confectioner. Considering the house now haunted by his daughter is a popular candy store off Market Square, there's a fair amount of ghostly synergy happening here. Plus this: Schafer's father was a German immigrant, according to census records. And Candida Kreb, owner of Candi's Candies, is from Central America.
Clearly, there's something going on here.
Kreb says she's had several run-ins with the ghost, and describes the story as similar in many ways to Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet." But she's not alone. A handful of ghost tour guides say they've had their own experiences. Perhaps you are one of them. Have you had any experiences here? Have you heard anything strange happening here?
