The Story

Albemarle's long-closed opera house retains stories of footsteps, moving shadows and music from an apparently empty stage. Haunted Places mentions a phantom ragtime band; in local newspaper reporting, the owner described a suited man, a woman in white and voices or music upstairs. The haunting belongs above the historic Main Street storefronts.
