A Theater of Ghosts

By Jason Roberts

My passion for the world of the paranormal has always been the history and the people behind the stories. I have always said you cannot have the paranormal without the history. When I joined Everyday-Legacy Paranormal in 2009, I could not wait to dive into the possible locations that were coming our way. The one city in Kansas that I always wanted to explore and study was Dodge City because from what I had heard, the city still embraced its Old West roots. So it was on my bucket list for investigating.

It was in 2011 when the team finally got in touch with a good contact that helped us set up an investigation for a historical building there in Dodge City. It is a little over two-hour drive from Wichita, where we are based out of, to Dodge. The building we were heading to sounded amazing, and we were told it was a pretty huge location, so we needed to bring everything we had to investigate. It was called The Depot Theater, an old Santa Fe train depot built in 1898, and was also the site of a Fred Harvey Hotel and dining area. It has gone through renovations and is now a wonderful dinner theater, several city offices, an event location for Dodge, and Amtrak makes a daily stop as well. The Depot Theater building was very much alive and working; we just didn’t know how alive it would be for us.

Karl claimed she could be heard at times on the stairs leading up to the third floor either talking, giggling, or walking around but sometimes crying. He felt that she followed him around wherever he went in the building except for the basement. So, we set up our gear and went to work.

We split up to tackle this giant of a building, in which I went with Leo to the second floor by the stairs to try our luck with talking to the little girl. It started off quiet as we stared upward to the third-floor landing, which was unfinished at the time, and it was the location of part of the old Fred Harvey Hotel. Trying to talk with her, we weren’t having much luck besides some taps or feet shuffling. Then I spoke up, asking, “Is there anything I can do for you, help you in any way?” At that moment from above us, we heard a girl’s voice say “No.” Startled, I looked up just in time to see what I thought was the tail of a long dress round the top corner of the stairs and disappear from view. We ran
