Cook Street Tavern has been serving the Winchester area since 1985, but the restaurant building actually dates back to 1827. The building survived the Civil War as it was located in an area that saw three major campaigns during the war.
 It is said to be haunted by two ghosts, a woman named Emily and a man named John Mann. John’s spirit has been seen wearing a long, black frock coat, and Emily is often heard calling John’s name. The duo has been known to move objects around the restaurant and will lock a patron in the women’s bathroom from time to time. It has also been reported that every day, upon entering a certain part of the tavern, a female customer will stumble but never fall.

For AB read the oval shaped plaque on the wall. Using the number on the plaque subtract 49 from it (AB=XX-49)

For CD look above the East Entrance door and add 91 to the number there. (CD=XX+91)
