From cemeteries to taverns, to historic inns, New Hampshire seems to be filled with ghoulish reminders of tragedies past. Its Colonial Theatre in Laconia is no exception. All types of creepy matters manifest here. Townspeople have spotted an apparition of a man walking through the building. Others have heard footsteps on stairs that no one is climbing. While the theater was built in 1914, it was renovated this year. It attracts large audiences coming to see live music. If you are looking for a unique place to take in a musical show, definitely do it here!

The old-style marquee of the Colonial welcomes audiences. But it belies widespread agreement that an unwelcoming presence seems to lurk inside the theater.
