"Upstairs at Muriel’s Jackson Square, known as the Seance Bar, I learned about the building’s checkered past and restless spirits: Pierre Jourdan, who built the house, lost it in a poker game and threw himself from a second-floor window, and his shimmering light is still usually seen at the upstairs bar; a poltergeist reportedly throws things around the courtyard and shadows and voices appear and disappear, so the owners even keep a table set with bread and wine reserved for Mr. Jourdan." - Beth D’Addono
