If you’re looking for something new to do, you should consider ghost hunting. There are several places right here in the Lavalette area that are said to be haunted. Let’s take a look at some of these destinations and what visitors can expect.
The Keith-Albee Theatre
The Keith-Albee Theatre, a beautiful Spanish Baroque-style building constructed in 1928, still plays host to a variety of arts and entertainment events, including the 2006 world premiere of “We Are Marshall”, starring Matthew McConaughey. However, it’s also been the site of several tragedies, including the electrocution of two electricians in the basement and the death of a maintenance man in the projection room. These unfortunate events make it one of the most haunted locations in the area. When you visit, keep an eye out for the Lady in Red, a ghost dressed in 1940s-style clothing and red shoes.
Z.D. Ramsdell House
Rumor has it that the Z.D. Ramsdell House, completed in 1858, was built on an ancient burial mound belonging to the Adena tribe. Local lore also says that the basement was a stop on the Underground Railroad. The owner of the house, Zopher D. Ramsdell, passed away in 1868, but visitors say that he and his family still live there, at least in spirit. Be on the lookout for doors opening and lights turning on by themselves.
These are just some of the places in the Lavalette area where you can expect an encounter with the supernatural. Should you choose to visit one of them, stay safe and have fun!
