This week we are going to take a trip down to Tucson, Arizona to the Fox Theater. This Theater has a very haunted past.
Tucson, Arizona has quite a few ghost stories, but the Fox Theater is the one that people talk about the most. The Fox Theater opened in the 1930s as a Vaudeville and movie house that entertained the town of Tucson. It closed in 1974 as the downtown area began to decline.
The Fox Tucson Theater Foundation started to restore the building in 2000 and then they reopened in 2006.
There are quite a few spirits that are believed to haunt the halls of the theatre. One of them is a man roams around the lobby and entrance of the theater asking for spare change.
People have said that a man has asked them for change, and for those who went to give him some, would see it simple drop to the floor.
There is also a young girl who giggles and plays in the upper and lower lobby. There are also some people who have claimed to have seen a shadowy figure lurking around the projection room. Some of the people who have worked in the booth have seen strange movements and experienced unexplained lights and noises.
Unfortunately, this has caused quite a few people to quit their job.
There is one spooky story that has been around slightly longer than the theater. The tale states that a man died in 1929 during the construction of the theater. There is an arrowed stone decor that faces the wrong direction around the stage that symbolizes this accident.
