THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Hollywood's El Capitan Theatre has developed a reputation for ghostly activity involving former performers and patrons. Employees have reported apparitions, footsteps, and unexplained noises backstage.
El Capitan Theater, on Hollywood Blvd., opened in 1926 and is known for its 1920s Hollywood glamour. It was beautifully restored by the Walt Disney Company and Pacific Theaters in 1989 and now hosts grand premieres of Disney films. The theater is said to be visited by apparitions in the break room. Ghosts here are believed to include a former manager, a projectionist, and a patron who committed suicide in a balcony.
