Indianapolis Coffee Shop Haunted by Chess-Playing Ghost

Asylum.com-- Wander into Indianapolis's Lazy Daze coffee house and you might get more than a cup of joe. In addition to being one of the city's favorite cafes, it's also the most haunted.

"Several customers, employees and visitors have reported the presence of a ghost in the back rooms of Lazy Daze," explains Alan E. Hunter, paranormal expert and author of "Irvington Haunts." "Apparently, this ghost likes to haunt the single restroom in the rear of the establishment."

The homey coffee shop lies on the East side of Indianapolis in a quaint district called Irvington, which is well known for its haunted buildings, homes and streets. "Haunted Irvington" walking tours take participants past the homes of Ku Klux Klan Grand Dragon and murderer D.C. Stephenson and past a restaurant reportedly haunted by gangster John Dillinger.

UFO-Shaped Podhouse Warms You With Rotting Garbage

The Comploo tea house from the Japanese design firm Bakoko uses heat from decomposing compost to keep you toasty. Although living in a Comploo keeps your heating bill down, expect your eggshell and banana peel bill to skyrocket.

The Comploo warms visitors thanks to its circular structure of compost bins - the Comploo's owners fill the bins, which allows the naturally decaying organic material to warm the enclosed space. With enough compost, the Comploo can reach up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
