Silver Screen Ghosts - TLC Chinese Theater

Built in 1927 in the heart of Hollywood Blvd., the Grauman's Chinese Theater opened with the premiere showing of Cecil DeMille's "The King of Kings." Since that premiere, it has been the home of other film premiere's such as "Star Wars."

The TLC (former Grauman's) Chinese Theater saw the golden age of film, and is today a major landmark and tourist attraction along Hollywood Blvd. However, it's not just tourists that seem to visit the theater, as it's rumored to be one of Hollywood's most haunted landmarks.

Various actors and actress have been spotted, cold spots felt and voices heard where no one else is around. The theater also has it's own resident spirit that is known as Fritz. Rumor has it that Fritz was a former employee of the theater, although there is no record of him. One day, when feeling down on his luck, he supposedly hung himself behind the theater curtain. From that day on, employees and visitors of the theater have all reported seeing and hearing Fritz. Although he likes to make himself quite well known, he is not a presence to be afraid of.

I have been to this theater many times, and I can't help but always be in awe of the beautiful architecture and beauty of the theater. When watching a film here, you feel as though you are instantly transported back to the golden age of film. I have felt cold spots throughout the theater, as well as seeing shadow figures out of the corner of my eye, especially down in the female's restroom. I have also heard whispered conversations where no one else is around.

I hope to one day get the theater all to myself and do a more extended investigation. What are some haunted theaters where you are from?
