There are supposedly three entities in the building, an old lady, a disgruntled musician and a former male employee. The old lady has appeared several times to different people. She is said to be wearing period clothing from the late 20’s early 30’s.
The disgruntled musician hangs out around the orchestra pit and the stage. He was not very happy when the pit was closed up and he lost his job. Several crew members have reported creepy vibes and the general feeling of unwelcome when in this area. Some people have clamed to have been choked by unseen hands.
The former employee is said to be a white male in his 40s wearing a white oxford shirt and black pants. He frequents the projection room and the balcony. He also has been heard sweeping the hall behind the projection room and one individual even felt his shoes being swept over by an invisible broom. This entity is more personable and his presence is welcomed. He took great pride in working for the theatre.
Does anyone know anything about our theatre being haunted? I stumbled on to a book at the library “Ghost Stories of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County” by Stephanie Burt Williams. The author has conducted interviews with some of the care takers and staff who witnessed paranormal activity while working in the theatre. Other than Charlie the janitor I don’t know of anyone else dieing in the theatre.
