Some theaters refuse to let their stories end.

In this haunted history special, Bridgett Denise guides you into three Southern stages where ghostly performers and restless audiences still linger long after the curtain has fallen.

In Memphis, the Orpheum Theatre is home to Mary, a little girl who never left her favorite seat.

In Austin, the Paramount Theatre hides the ghost of a man in white and the spirit of a glamorous actress from the Roaring Twenties.

And in Birmingham, the Alabama Theatre echoes with phantom applause, icy projection booths, and the faint notes of a mighty Wurlitzer organ playing itself.

With deep history, chilling testimonies, and Southern Gothic atmosphere, this episode reveals why some theaters never go truly dark.

And don’t forget — this October, Vivid Nightmares brings you double the chills: Haunted History Thursdays + True Crime Fridays.

Take your seat, the spotlight is waiting… but remember: the audience around you might not all be living
