🕰️ The Hauntings
1. “The Lady in the Long Dress” (aka Miss Shirley)
According to local ghost-tour guides, shoppers have repeatedly spotted a woman in a long, old-fashioned dress dusting shelves or straightening displays.
One visitor said she turned to ask the woman a question—then looked back and she was simply gone.
Another guest swears she heard humming from an empty upper floor after closing.
2. The Elevator That Moves on Its Own
Store employees mention the vintage elevator doors creak open even when locked off. Lights flicker, and the brass gate rattles after hours.
3. Cold Spots & Phantom Perfume
Reports include sharp cold drafts on still days, and the faint scent of antique perfume drifting from the stairwell.
4. “Furniture Falls with No Hands On It”
A camera reportedly caught a porcelain figurine slide off a shelf without vibration or contact—sparking the story that Miss Shirley still “tidies up” the displays.
