Madam Walker Theatre hauntings

The Madame Walker Theatre Center, opened in 1927 by entrepreneur Madam C. J. Walker, is the subject of local lore involving reported apparitions and unexplained sounds. Staff, performers, and visitors have recounted sightings and odd occurrences that local reporters and tour guides have repeated as part of the building's history. These reports are part of Indianapolis oral history and local paranormal interest but are presented as anecdotal accounts rather than proven phenomena.
