Reviews
My parents rented the apartment upstairs of the theater. I lived there from elementary school to high school senior year 04’. I had many experiences of seeing shadows move, figures in the dark, unexplained noises from the theater, heavy footsteps when I was alone in my room at the furthest room back from the front of the building, I was afraid to stay home alone for many years. I have friends I grew up with that witnessed the sounds and footsteps a few times. It got bad enough when I was a kid that my parents had the property blessed and prayed over in every room. There was meat hooks bolted under the stage of the theater screen in the basement. Many terrifying moments where living here!
