Ghostly Encounters
Catching a show in the Fox Theatre when it’s packed is a treat on its own. However, having a tour of the entire facility to try and encounter spirits is an altogether different kind of experience.
One of the most famous ghost stories involving the Fox Theatre concerns the elevator backstage.
Legend has it that a girlfriend of one of the theater’s managers passed away, and her spirit lives in the backstage elevator. There are countless reports of the elevator working on its own, usually traveling between the first and fourth floors.
Some people who tour the Fox Theatre claim to hear strange noises coming from various parts of the building. If you’re quiet enough, you may even hear the infamous footsteps that come from the audience seats while you stand on the main stage.
Moreover, many tour-goers claim to feel a sudden chilly sensation in certain parts of the theater. Whether that’s just a draft or something more spooky is up to your imagination.
Haunted Organ
The massive organ (nicknamed “The Mighty Mo”) is one of the theater’s most popular items. One of the earlier organists died and had his ashes scattered around the organ. The legend goes that you can sometimes hear him playing his beloved instrument on quiet nights.
While the sound of music can be pleasing, it can also be highly unsettling knowing there’s nobody in the organ room.
