Flagstaff~~Orpheum Theatre

The Orpheum Theatre was built by John Weatherford in the early 1900′s. Many staff have  experienced odd occurrences. A janitor, cleaning late at night, saw a dark figure floating back and fourth through the aisles of the balcony. Also while the final movie was playing for the night. Three staff members saw a roll of paper towels rapidly unrolling on its own. One employee put his hand on it to stop it. Only t have it begin again when he removed his hand.  There are also reports of sinks turing on full blast by themselfs. Rumor has it that a man hung himself from the balcony.

And his two daughters) traveled out to “old town” Kingsman in search for gold. In time the family built a large house near a deep canyon.  The man’s daughters hated the young Launa for the way she treated them. Launa wanted their father all to herself. So the night before her wedding Launa murdered the two girls. When she regained her sanity and relised what she had done. She whent screaming and moaning to the canyon, begging for forgiveness.
