Bagdad Theatre ghost stories

The Bagdad Theatre, a historic 1927 movie palace on SE Hawthorne Boulevard, is associated with local tales of hauntings; employees and frequenters have reported unexplained noises, flickering lights, and occasional apparitions. Local publications have documented these anecdotes over the years, but they remain unverified and are treated as lore. The theater remains an active cinema and performance venue where the stories are part of its local identity.
