Northwest Louisiana Haunted Tales: Performing Arts Center

The history of the Performing Arts Center leaves little to applaud for.

The Performing Arts Center building has a dark history. Originally built as a bakery with an indoor well, it was later bought out and used as a theater.

For one young thespian, theater was her life. But as everyone knows, one bad review can ruin any actor’s life. After publication of a negative review, the tormented actress found herself in such despair that she threw herself into the well and drowned.

Not too long after, another accident claimed a life. A stagehand was found hanging from the rigging, high above the stage floor.

The two ghosts continue to haunt the building. Sounds of applause echo across the walls. Is their presence an outcry of envy or are these undead souls in constant waiting for an encore that will never come?
