Alexander Michael's is reportedly haunted by Mr. Berryhill, the former owner of the building when it was the Berryhill Store, a grocery store that operated until at least 1897. The building, located in Charlotte's historic 4th Ward, has served many purposes since then, and some believe the ghost of Mr. Berryhill still lingers there. The restaurant is situated in a building that was once the Berryhill Store, a historic general store. It is said that the spirit of Mr. Berryhill, the store's original owner, still haunts the premises. The building has a long history, having been a grocery store, laundromat, and paint store, contributing to its ghostly reputation.
