A night with ghost hunters Our creepiness rating 💀💀💀💀💀
In 2016 a Wyoming Tribune Eagle reporter joined the Paranormal Hunting and Observation Group, which had investigated the building nearly a dozen times. The reporter noted urban legends of a fatal fire, a "woman in white," and a child whose hair was pulled by an unseen force, and said they vary in believability. Source: Wyoming Tribune Eagle, 2016.

Real history
The three-story building went up in 1887; until 1908 its upper floors held offices and its ground floor a tea and confectionery shop. In 1908 it was remodeled with a 550-seat vaudeville theater, and it was listed on the National Register on April 3, 1973 (National Register nomination).
In 2026 Cowboy State Daily reported that renovation crews found a railroad worker's overalls and a wool suit stuffed in third-floor ceilings, and an Italian stiletto knife (Cowboy State Daily, 2026).
