The Haunting

The 1912 Empress Theatre, fully renovated in 1982, puts on stage shows, concerts and first-run movies. It's haunted by a ghost who is believed to be either a former manager, Dan Boyle, or Ed, a former janitor. The janitor theory is the most common, perhaps because apparitions of the man often come with phantom smells of alcohol, tobacco or manure.

Ghost stories identify either former manager Dan Boyle or janitor Ed, with apparitions and phantom alcohol, tobacco, or manure smells. Official sources emphasize the theater’s ongoing cultural role.
