Real Ghost Stories Online

On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the haunting history of the Orpheum Theatre in Phoenix, Arizona. Built in the glamorous age of vaudeville, this Spanish Baroque masterpiece has seen decades of performances, renovations—and some say, supernatural visitors. Among its spectral residents is Maddie, a ghostly young girl who roams the balconies, giggling and vanishing before startled staff can make sense of what they’ve seen. With phantom footsteps, disembodied voices, and flickering lights, the Orpheum has earned its reputation as one of Arizona’s most haunted landmarks.   Is the Orpheum truly haunted, or could environmental factors, creaking old architecture, and a dash of imagination explain it all? Join us as we pull back the velvet curtain on a century-old mystery that blurs the line between history and haunting.
