Joshua Dairen and his wife, Keema Miller, both 31, embarked on a new adventure when they purchased a coffee shop in Opelika, Alabama in April 2023. However, their excitement quickly turned to bewilderment as they began to experience strange occurrences in their new business.
One of the first incidents happened during the first week of owning the coffee shop. Joshua, who is also a paranormal investigator, heard rustling noises coming from the back office when no one else was in the shop. This continued to happen, even after Joshua ruled out any possible issues with the building's wiring.
But it wasn't just noises that the couple experienced. On September 5, 2024, at 5:42 am, a member of their staff was alone in the shop when they saw a figure of a soldier walking towards them before disappearing. This incident sparked Joshua's curiosity, and he began to research the history of the area.
He discovered that the building was built in the 1800s and had been fully updated. However, during the American Civil War, it was used as a Confederate supply depot. After a raid on the town, many soldiers lost their lives, and Joshua believes that the coffee shop is now being haunted by one of those soldiers.
Further incidents continued to happen, including figures moving across the room, unexplained footprints, and strange noises. Joshua even witnessed a shadow figure peeking its head out of a window when no one was in the room.
However, the most significant event that Joshua couldn't explain was when a milk carton exploded in the back office. Upon closer inspection, he found a boot print on the carton that resembled an old army boot, despite no one in the shop ever wearing combat boots.
Despite the strange occurrences, Joshua and Keema have not felt threatened by the presence in their coffee shop. They have even grown accustomed to the daily footsteps that they hear, no matter what time of day.
Followers of the couple's story on social media continue to be intrigued by the ghostly activity in the coffee shop. Some have even joined their community on WhatsApp to receive updates on the latest news and juicy stories.
As for Joshua and Keema, they are content with sharing their space with a ghostly soldier and have no plans to leave their coffee shop anytime soon.
