This website (visit link) provides a history of the building and has this passage about manifestations:

"HISTORY OF MANIFESTATIONS:

It seems that many entities who enjoyed THE ABSINTHE HOUSE building while alive, still like to visit in their afterlife, perhaps reliving the good times they experienced in this building.

MANIFESTATIONS:

Patrons and staff have had experiences with such famous entities as Louis Moreau Gottschalk, Andrew Jackson, "The Beast" Benjamin Butler, and even Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau.

The entity most encountered seems to be Jean Lafitte, especially on the second floor. The members of the staff have many stories about this entity, who visits the tavern area, and especially likes the Bistro on the second floor, when he isn't checking out the living at his old Blacksmith Shop.

Other paranormal activity experienced by unseen, unknown presences.

Bar doors open and close by themselves.

Moving bottles and glasses around the bar area have been reported.

Chairs have the tendency to move back and forth, like a group of entities get together after closing hours."
