Canton, OH tonight: Ghost hunters to converge on Palace Theatre

From CantonRep.com: Ghost hunters to converge on Palace Theatre
CANTON — A local ghost hunters group will venture into the Palace Theatre tonight.

The Nearly Everywhere Ohio Ghost Society will host a tour of the downtown movie house on Oct. 7, following a showing of “The Blair Witch Project.” The group also offers private overnight investigations at the Palace, located at 605 Market Ave. N.

They’re looking for signs of this:

Legend is that on opening night in 1926, Palace patrons were treated to sounds of Banks Kennedy and the Kilgen Wonder Organ. In the 1930s, Kennedy was shot and killed in the theater basement on the order of a mob boss, because Banks dated the mobster’s daughter against his wishes. There also have been reports of a little girl seen in the balcony.

Admission to the ghost hunt and movie is $40 and is limited to 30 people.

For more information, visit the Palace Theatre website to check for future ghost tours and hunts, or call 330-454-8172 to reserve tickets.
