THE STORY
Reported Haunting
Grandstreet Theatre occupies a former church where a memorial Tiffany window was dedicated to Clara Bicknell Hodgin, who died at age 34. After the window was placed back in the building, reports arose of a woman's apparition and other unexplained activity around the theater. Some believe the lingering presence may be connected to Clara and the memorial created in her honor.
A beautifully Tiffany window was donated to this building in 1905 when it was church, in memory of Clara Bicknell Hodgin, who died at age 34. When the building was converted into a playhouse, the window was placed in storage for several years. It was installed again in 1976, and with it came Clara’s spirit, according to locals. She is said to be a charming ghost with delicate footsteps, and her presence is felt by all who visit or work here. She likes to turn electrical switches on and off as well.
