Haunted Theatres in Illinois

The Egyptian Theatre opened in 1929 and to this day is still considered one of DeKalb, Illinois' most shining gems. This theatre has a long and fascinating history full of  triumphs and tragedies, and it also has some very spooky stories to tell.

According to the website Haunted US, DeKalb's Egyptian Theatre is home to six different ghosts that "are said to mingle amongst the living, haunting performances and after shows at the theater."

Multiple reports of ghostly spirits seen and heard at the Egyptian Theatre include:

• A ghostly man who likes to sit in a particular row and seat in the theatre.
• A woman crying and knocking in a basement bathroom.
• A lady in green sitting in the balcony seats.
• A little girl playing in the lobby.
• A ghostly janitor popping up on stage.
• A little boy wandering about the theatre.

I may not be a person who fully buys into paranormal experiences, but even I would agree that going on a spooky flashlight tour of a reportedly haunted theatre sounds pretty darn intriguing!
