The Rialto Music Hall Ghosts
The stories about mysterious sounds and smells have been almost continuous since the early days of the theater. Gabriel, a young employee during the 1990s had multiple encounters with a ghost during his employment at the theater. The most vivid occurred late one evening when he saw something in the main auditorium which made him nearly incoherent. Ms. Williams, the theater manager, who was with Gabriel, describes it this way; “We were in the main auditorium one night—it was around 10:00 P. M.—-and we were walking down the aisles. He was on the right-hand side, and about a third of the way down. He started looking up and started rotating just turning as if he were watching something in the ceiling. I kept asking him what was going on, and he just got hysterical and started screaming at me. ‘Don’t you see it? Don’t you see it?’ I never saw anything, and when he finally got coherent, he said it was like a cloud of mist and that it floated across the ceiling and went into the balcony—right through the balcony wall. He definitely saw something, and he smelled the perfume.â€
