The 1874 Cohoes Music Hall is believed to be haunted by Vaudeville actress Eva Tanguay, who died in 1947. Cohoes Music Hall was where she made her debut–and was booed offstage. Eva was known as the “I Don’t Care” Girl because of her famous song. Many folks who work here have had contact with the ghost, who has made herself known with gusts of wind, giggles, phantom perfume, and unexplained noises. Sometimes props go missing, doors open by themselves, and lights turn on, and it’s always attributed to their theater ghost, Eva.
