Specter Showcase: Victims of a Theatre Fire

If you ever feel the urge to call something unsinkable, unbreakable, indestructible, or anything of the like - resist. It never ends well.   

Known As: Victims of a Theatre Fire 


The Titanic of theatres, this venue – then called Chicago’s Iroquois Theatre – was deemed “absolutely fireproof.” A month later, this confidence took a hit when the deadliest theatre fire in American history raged through its hallways. Over 600 people perished. When the new theatre was built on the same site, the spirits apparently felt that a theatre is a theatre and decided to stay on. They are most frequently seen in the alley behind the building where bodies were stacked in wake of the disaster.
