Restaurant · St. Augustine, FL
O.C. White's Seafood & Spirits
The coquina-block building at 118 Avenida Menendez was raised in the 1790s and later became home to the widow and daughters of General William J. Worth before passing through hands as a hotel, a cigar maker's shop, and eventually a riverfront seafood restaurant. Staff and owners have long reported that the Worth women never quite left: Mrs. Worth is said to descend the staircase in a full period dress and vanish into the kitchen, where no exit door exists. Colonel Sprague, who married one of the daughters, is reputed to appear in the men's room mirror in a bowler hat before fading away, while a man's and a woman's voices have been heard crossing the second-floor dining room to open the balcony door. The most retold incident is caught on the third-floor security cameras, where a tray reportedly flew off a freezer chest and toppled a bucket of rice with no one in sight.
