Latte with a shot of ectoplasm
I just recently learned that a coffee house I frequent is home to the ghost of a man who shot himself in the head in 1929. This happened in the bathroom, and apparently the bullet hole is still there today. It's hard to say "cool" considering the circumstances surrounding the man's death, but I must check this out!

From the web:
The Lock and Key Coffeehouse can be found at 201 Main Street in Georgetown, and it's located in a building with quite a checkered past. Built in 1899, it was originally John McMeekin's Furniture and Funeral Parlor, then went through a number of permutations over the years, including a bank, a food stamp office, and an antique mall.
In 1929, during its incarnation as the Georgetown National Bank, president George T. Hambrick committed suicide in the bank's restroom by placing a pistol to his head. It exited through his skull and lodged in the wall, where the bullethole is framed today as a historical curiosity.
