The Public House, formerly a restaurant and bar in Roswell, GA, is described as a haunted location due to a tragic Civil War-era legend involving a forbidden romance between a Union soldier and a Southern nurse, who is believed to have died on the property. Eyewitnesses report various paranormal phenomena, including disembodied sounds, doors that lock on their own, and apparitions of figures seen dancing or lingering in the building. The Public House was built on the site of a commissary for the Roswell Mill during the 1850s. A popular story tells of a forbidden romance between a Union soldier named Michael and a local nurse named Catherine. Michael was allegedly killed by Confederate soldiers, and Catherine later hanged herself out of grief in the building. Some accounts claim the couple's spirits still linger in the building, with people reporting seeing them dancing. Former managers and visitors have reported unexplained sounds and occurrences. Doors have been heard to slam shut and lock behind people. Automatic paper towel dispensers have been known to activate by themselves. Ghostly figures have been seen in the upstairs windows of the building. The building dates back to 1839, originally commissioned and then rebuilt in 1854 as a commissary for the Roswell Mill.
