Location Address: 2344 Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02140 Employees working at Café Luna Catering in Cambridge, Massachusetts report witnessing shadow figures and other unidentified apparitions, as well as feeling the presence of an unseen entity, especially in the basement. The location was previously a coffee shop called Verna's Coffee & Donut Shop, which opened in 1951 and closed in 2016 due to financial issues. Previous employees at Verna's Coffee Shop have also reported experiencing paranormal activity, with many employees allegedly refusing to go into the basement alone. #2 - Cambridgeport Baptist Church
Coordinates: 42.358856°, -71.110908°
Location Address: 459 Putnam Avenue, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02139 Constructed during the 1800's as Emanuel Baptist Church, the Cambridgeport Baptist Church in Cambridge, Massachusetts is said to be haunted by the spirit of a woman named Ann Hopkins, who was burned at the stake for allegedly practicing witchcraft. According to legend, she placed a curse on the townsfolk with her final breath, saying, "the curse of fire shall be upon this spot forever!" In 1865 the Cambridgeport Baptist Church burned down in a mysterious fire, and in 1881 was devastated by fire again. According to an article published by The Boston Globe in March of 1881, townsfolk present during both fires reported hearing the sounds of disembodied moans and screams of agony that continued for weeks. Although skeptics at the time tried to debunk the paranormal activity at Cambridgeport Baptist Church, many claim that the vengeful spirit of Ann Hopkins still lingers at the location of her death. #3 - Cambridge Rindge & Latin School
