From cemeteries to taverns, to historic inns, New Hampshire seems to be filled with ghoulish reminders of tragedies past. Its Colonial Theatre in Laconia is no exception. All types of creepy matters manifest here. Townspeople have spotted an apparition of a man walking through the building. Others have heard footsteps on stairs that no one is climbing. While the theater was built in 1914, it was renovated this year. It attracts large audiences coming to see live music. If you are looking for a unique place to take in a musical show, definitely do it here!
The old-style marquee of the Colonial welcomes audiences. But it belies widespread agreement that an unwelcoming presence seems to lurk inside the theater.

A sinister male aura apparently inhabits the venue, often resting in the balcony. Acoustic guitar is said to calm him.

Stairs leading to various levels of the playhouse often creak spontaneously. Later in the evening, slow heavy steps are heard on them… in the absence of feet!

Live music is the major draw of the Colonial now. But visit yourself to hear the songs of the dead.
