Though beautiful, the Majestic Theatre is also super haunted We can’t say it enough: the Majestic is incredibly gorgeous. So gorgeous that spirits want to hang out here, too. The Zoroastro, a longtime magician here, is said to still have spooky performances today. There’s been sightings of ghosts attributed to a ballet troupe who supposedly died on the stage as overhead lights crashed on top of them, killing some of them. All in all, these departed performers are still excited to show off their talents today – even if they’re ghosts. Photo via Instagram / clarkdashark27 Credit: Instagram / clarkdashark27
