Camac Street is one of the oldest streets in Philadelphia, and it is the only wooden block street in America. The wooden blocks are now under the paving. There is a tunnel under the street which may have been used in the Underground Railroad, or may have served a less noble purpose. The area has had a very interesting history. The site itself was built in 1824. For a while, Camac Street was the center of a red light district in Philadelphia. Fortunately, the area was cleaned up and it has become a very exclusive area today. The restaurant is really two row homes that were restored by the current owners after a fire. Staff and patrons have reported chandeliers swinging in a circle, doors mysteriously opening, a figure on the second floor landing, and disembodied footsteps. The footsteps are described as a step/drag kind of sound. A picture in the second floor corridor reportedly flew off the wall and hit the opposite wall. Dishes have flown off of racks in the kitchen and disembodied voices have been heard.
The footsteps may be the spirit of a previous owner's father, who had helped in the rebuilding. He became very attached to the property and unfortunately passed away right before his son's restaurant opened there. He was described as wearing heavy boots and walking with a limp!
