The Story
Anchorage’s former Fourth Avenue Theatre has a ghost story about a woman seen in mirrors near the restroom area. The Shadowlands collection supplies that specific motif, while Haunted Places records the theater’s broader haunted reputation. Both traditions concern the old building, which was demolished in 2022; restoration plans repeated in older directories are no longer useful access advice. The story survives as part of the theater’s cultural memory.
