I’ve started a series of Paducah Ghosts mugs. These 2 are artist proofs, and aren’t for sale right now- so I can recreate easily-more coming soon
👻From what I’ve read, there are about 8 or so really good ghost stories in our new town, Paducah, Ky (I’m making mugs for all of them😁👻)
👻One of the most famous is Stella Cohen
👻About Stella:
According to hauntedplaces.org, the old C.C. Cohen building in downtown Paducah, Kentucky is rumored to be one of the most haunted places in Western Kentucky. It is said to be haunted by Stella Cohen Pine. Stella was the last living member of the Cohen family and she lived and ran the business out of the building since early in the 1990s. After the death of her husband in 1961, Stella and her sister closed the restaurant but continued to live in the upstairs apartments. When her sister died (another ghost story), she continued to live in her apartment until she died in the summer of 1980. Since her death, there have been many sightings and reports of strange things happening.
It is said that chairs move by themselves, salt and pepper shakers fall over, her dogs are felt, lights flicker, movements appear in reflections, and she is often spotted in the upstairs window.

Pulled up Quilt in a Day’s blue indoor/outdoor carpet and found the original “S.B. Gott” entry inlay mosaic tile. 😱😍 They don’t line up with the current door placement, it looks like the door was shifted to the right side -not centered as it is now. Try zooming in on the old 1970’s photo and “maybe” it looks like it’s to the left under the awning…?! Wish we had more old photos!
Absolutely love finding these hidden treasures of the past.
Sorry Mr. Gott.

Paducah and Ky have a ton of great ghost stories. 👻 Here are 2 versions I’m working on of Reuben the ghost, hot out of the kiln… more to come.
👻Reuben’s story:
Reuben rented the second floor apartment over the Morning Star Saloon. The saloon was run by a man named Leon and he rented the rooms above. Reuben was wealthy and never left his room. He would sit straight up in his chair at the window and watch the street below. People started noticing Reuben, and patrons from the bar below would often call up and ask Reuben to buy them drinks, but he never would, he just sat and stared out his window.
One night, Leon realized that Reuben didn’t pay his rent. He walked upstairs to his room but couldn’t open the door. He went back downstairs and grabbed 3 men from the bar to help. They finally managed to get the door open and found a big chest of drawers blocking the entrance.
The room was filled with smoke, but there was no evidence of flames. The men worked their way through the smoke and were shocked by what they found. Reuben was still sitting straight up in his chair, but he was completely charred.
The apartment was converted into a wardrobe room for the Market House Theater across the street. People who entered reported smelling smoke and those downstairs would hear footsteps walking around above them. They figure it’s just Reuben checking things out.
