The Story

Zach Royer recounts a Palace Theater employee’s belief that two spirits occupied the projection room and sometimes worked its equipment. The unexplained activity supposedly diminished as she became comfortable addressing them. Another account describes a touch on the shoulder attributed to a tall male presence. The reports remain theater lore.
