The Lost Souls of State Street

About

Meet more than Pete, since the Orpheum seems to be one of the most haunted spots in the city. There's the mysterious "night manager" as well, who's dangling keys can be hear jingling from his belt as he walks the halls.

Discover Timothy Hergor, the local magician who used to book acts and perform at the Capitol Theatre inside the Overture Center on State Street. When one of Timothy’s romantic overtures failed, he hung himself from the lighting grid on the stage in the 1920s. And that stage hasn’t been the same since…
Who haunts the Wisconsin State Capitol? Is it the ghost of the man who killed himself in the basement? Or perhaps it's the spirits of the workmen killed in the construction accident of the South Wing?
Meet more spooky friends as we travel up and down Madison’s most popular entertainment district.
