Madam Walker Theatre Center and local haunting reports

The Madam Walker Theatre Center at 617 Indiana Avenue is a historic cultural center built by entrepreneur Madam C. J. Walker and is a landmark of Indianapolis's Indiana Avenue jazz era. The theater has been included on local ghost tours and is the subject of occasional reports from staff and visitors describing unexplained footsteps or apparitions. Those reports are part of local lore and are anecdotal rather than proven.
