Dear Ghost Enthusiast,

Nestled in the heart of Dayton, Ohio, the Victoria Theatre stands as a testament to the city's vibrant arts scene. But did you know it's also home to a cast of characters that don't need a spotlight to shine? Yep, we're talking about ghosts. And this week’s story comes to us from one of our subscribers who personally experienced a haunting in this popular spot!

Built in the late 1800s, Victoria Theatre has survived fires, renovations, and the changing tastes of theatre-goers. With such a rich history, it's no wonder some of its past patrons have decided to stick around for an eternal encore.

The most renowned ghostly starlet? A woman named "Vicky." It's said she haunts in various ways — her face reflected in the bathroom mirror, inexplicable wafts of perfume, and the sounds of shuffling taffeta. Some have even heard her footsteps cross the empty stage. The legend goes that she disappeared from her dressing room between performances and has since decided the venue is her favorite haunt.

And then there's the mystery of a male who died of suicide in front of the stage. Over the years, countless performers have sworn they've seen this unknown man assisting backstage, only for him to vanish into thin air when approached. Others briefly see his face when the curtains are drawn. Is he now a ghostly guardian of the stage or just a passionate phantom performer?

For those brave enough to catch a show, listen closely. Alongside the audience's applause, you might just hear the faint claps of invisible hands giving their own ghostly standing ovation.
