One of Akron Civic Theatre’s ghosts is Fred the Janitor, who died during his shift and now returns to finish his work. He is said to get angry at people who mess up the restrooms. Another apparition of a well-dressed man appears sitting up in the balcony from time to time, and a third spirit of a girl walks along old canal behind the theater. She committed suicide in the canal long ago, so her story goes, and she can sometimes be heard crying.
