Warren's Blue Bayou (Bell House)

Folklore at the Bell House clusters around the patent-medicine era and Dr. David S. Bell himself. Tenants of the various commercial businesses that have occupied the building have reported chairs returned to the floor after closing-time stacking, doors that lock without anyone inside, brief power outages localized to the office space, and physical sensations including, in one Shadowlands-cited account, a wet impact on the chest while the proprietor sat at a desk.

A paranormal-investigation account cited in the Shadowlands entry describes an orb photograph captured at the site, which the investigators reportedly had analyzed by photo developers who could not identify a conventional explanation. Orb photographs are not generally accepted as evidence in current paranormal-research methodology; they are typically explained by airborne dust, moisture, or insects reflecting flash.

The Shadowlands narrative includes an additional claim that the former owner of the house, before its restaurant period, hanged himself in the office after locking the door. No newspaper coverage, coroner record, or court filing surfaced in web research to substantiate this. Given the building's named former-owner conflation (David rather than James Bell), the suicide claim is best held as unverified rather than as documented history.
