If it’s the theatre I’m thinkng of, I read a story about hauntings there. There were reports of bathroom doors slamming, whispered conversations in the editing room that was off of the projection room(which in its self only had on door leading into it and no window for voices to carry up to from the street below)and gunshots followed by screams being heard. I’m not sure if the stories are true, but I do know that this theater has a lot of history.

It was at one time a place for singing acts, then it showed the latest movies then eventually turned into a place for pornos in the 1950s or 60s. In the back there were eight booths for peep shows. You know, the old classic ones where you have to keep putting quarters if you want to see more, but you only got to see movies, not real girls. It was also said to be a hide out for gansters in the 1930s. That would probably explain the gun shots and screams.
