Employees at St. Paul’s Fitzgerald Theater have reported paranormal encounters, leading to speculations that the historic venue may be haunted. WCCO’s John Lauritsen recently visited the theater to investigate these claims.
The Fitzgerald Theater, originally known as the Sam S. Shubert Theater, has a long history dating back to its opening in 1910. It has hosted a variety of performances over the years, including radio broadcasts of A Prairie Home Companion with Garrison Keillor. With such a rich and diverse history, it’s no surprise that rumors of hauntings have circulated among employees.
Some staff members have reported seeing strange shadows, feeling cold spots, and hearing unexplained noises while working in the theater. One employee even claimed to have seen the ghost of a former performer who died in the building many years ago.
While some employees are convinced that the theater is haunted, others remain skeptical. Despite this, the rumors have persisted, leading Lauritsen to investigate further. The CBS News reporter spoke with employees and explored the theater in search of any evidence of paranormal activity.
Although no concrete proof of hauntings was found during Lauritsen’s visit, the rumors surrounding the Fitzgerald Theater continue to intrigue both staff and visitors alike. Whether the theater is truly haunted or simply holds onto its rich history through ghost stories, one thing is for certain – the mysterious allure of the Fitzgerald Theater is sure to captivate audiences for years to come.
