The Shakespeare Tavern

He had seen a very young boy dressed in a velvet suit much like children wore in the 1800''s beside his dressing table. Others have seen passing images and odd lights over the years. Sometimes when the theater is pretty much deserted, voices will be heard, as if a group is meeting together. There is a room in the top level of the building that sensitive people will not enter, because it is clammy and the energy feels terrible in there. An old man has been spotted on a couple of occasions. A female energy once warned of a fire, and sometimes upsets things in the women''s dressing room. Occasionally a shadowy figure can be seen on the catwalk above the stage."
Six Flags
: "People have seen a little girl wondering around pretending like she is lost. If you follow her she will lead you so far into the woods you won''t be able to find your way back, then you will turn around and she will vanish!"
