Once a Jacksonville institution, the Homestead Restaurant is today no more – replaced by a “Taco Lu”. But there were plenty of ghostly claims at the location, including a mysterious “Lady in White” who walked the premises. No word on whether the taco place continues to experience these strange phenomena.

The taco restaurant is actually called Taco Lu, not lulu. Also, a friend of mine works there and says yes it is still haunted. She reports bathroom stalls locking and unlocking, bathroom lights shutting off, tableclothes being ripped off of tables, footsteps upstairs when no ine is up there, whispering, and being shoved off the staircase. Also, seeing a woman in a nightgown walking up the stairs. Also, the food is AMAZING!
Worked as the cleaning crew after closing back in 2009 and yes I can actually say all this is true, plus water being turned on in ladies room, high chairs being placed on roof, my husband being shoved down the staircase, alarm going off (although adt wasnt aware) (just had to work through the loud noise), drinks being thrown across the bar etc. But every night we finished we always said “Goodnight Alpha”
Only haunting experience I had at taco lu was the horrible food.
