The Real Haunted Story Of Old Spaghetti Factory

This Gastown location was the first Old Spaghetti Factory restaurant in 1970. In the former headquarters of W.H. Malkin Co. Ltd., the restaurant is adorned with antiques and relics.

Four spirits inhabit the Old Spaghetti Factory. First and most famous is the tram conductor spirit. The ancient trolley vehicle with eating tables inside the eatery is his hangout. British Columbia Electric Railway Company electric tram Number 53 was formerly in service. It was a Vancouver public transportation trolley for many years after being built in New Westminster in 1904. It and hundreds of other trolley vehicles were deactivated in 1957 to make way for electric and diesel municipal buses.

The trolley vehicle was introduced in 1969 during restaurant setup. It's unclear whether the conductor's ghost accompanied the trolley. A accident on an underground train line underneath the eatery may have killed him. Since Vancouver's trolley vehicles traveled at street level, this seems implausible. Since the building has no link to the B.C. Electric Railway Co., the ghost likely arrived with the tram vehicle.

Staff members have seen the uniformed conductor ghost, regardless of provenance. He sits at the same streetcar dinner table after closure. Unseen hands alter place settings, and the automobile has chilly areas.

Small and mischievous, The Old Spaghetti Factory's second ghost has a reddish face and vivid red hair. As the Little Red Man or Looky-loo, he addresses personnel by name and walks around the kitchen. His favorite prank is surprising women in the ladies' restroom. Two females watched the dwarfish guy exit a cubicle wearing a red shirt and long johns. He exited via the bathroom door after laughing deviously at them. They were surprised no one had seen the distinctive guy exit the bathroom. One woman allegedly photographed the apparition. At film development, he was a blur.

No one knows who or why the small red guy haunts the eatery. He's a wicked little guy.

A little boy is the restaurant's third ghost. A female server was frightened by this ghost in early 2012. She helped shut the restaurant that night in the rear. A guy raced by her in the rear as she was resetting tables. She thought a youngster running about was odd because it was late and the restaurant was empty. She followed. After running beneath a table near the rear wall, he turned and glanced at her. She noticed empty eye holes on his face. Fearful, she raced to the front of the restaurant to inform the manager what she saw. She immediately quit from the restaurant after telling him she couldn't work there anymore.

The small boy's spirit was Edward, according to a psychic inside the eatery. She also mentioned the back vortex. (A vortex is said to let ghosts into our world. Vortexes may potentially be connected to Earth's electromagnetic field. This affects portal opening and closing. She said numerous tiny restaurant antiques had souls.

Some believe the child ghost bends cutlery on back restaurant tables. On closing night, a staff member checked the rear area for correct place settings. He was amazed to observe each silverware piece twisted upwards on a table. Other employees saw the twisted flatware. After inviting the restaurant manager over, everything was back to normal. The ghost also puts a dining chair on a rear table, which the crew finds in the morning.

Another server met Edward in 2015. She watched the flat-capped youngster with a wool jacket and corduroy leggings flee toward the rear of the restaurant after closing. As usual, he hid beneath a table as she pursued him. Running to the front of the restaurant, she took the manager back to see the youngster. But he was gone when they arrived. Their place settings had been disrupted, with silverware piled in the center of the table.

A client sat in a row of booths behind the restaurant door another time. The rear wall mirror mirrored the youngster. He spun an arm around a slender column behind the front desk. The boy was gone when she turned around.

A little girl at a table in the front window is the Old Spaghetti Factory's fourth ghost. Sitting, she clutches a balloon. Who is she? Nobody knows. An acquaintance of the restaurant's general manager spoke with her for many minutes. Little girl told him she was seeking for her mother. He returned to the table after notifying the management about her to find her gone.
