Pantages Theater - Los Angeles, CA

Pantages Theater, named after Alexander Pantages, was once owned by Howard Hughes--and Hughes is thought to remain here in spirit to this day. According to theater legend, a 1990 break-in by vandals spurred the hauntings on the second floor where Hughes had his office. Witnesses have felt a presence, an unexplained breeze, or cold spots and seen a man's apparition near Hughes' office. The sound of desk drawers rattling and the smell of cigarette smoke also have been noticed. The Pantages is also haunted by a ghostly patron who has resided here since 1932. The lady died in the mezzanine during a performance, and her singing has been heard throughout the building. Alexander Pantages himself is also rumored to spend some of his afterlife at his theater.
