This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE!
In 1922, following the discovery of King Tut’s Tomb, Egyptian-themed theaters became quite popular. The Egyptian Theater in DeKalb, Illinois, was one of more than 100 similarly-themed theaters built in the US. Construction began in the spring of 1929, and a few months later, in December, the Egyptian Theatre opened its doors - just a couple of months after the stock market crashed and the Great Depression began.
The renovations and resurgence of the theater have apparently awakened some old ghosts within its walls. Spirits from the vaudeville era and some from present times are reported to mingle with the living, haunting performances and after-shows at the theater. According to legend, six unique spirits are residing at the Egyptian Theatre. From the lady in green to Irv, one of the theater’s biggest supporters, and even a mysterious young girl – they all make their presence known.
Today, Part One of our conversation about the Egyptian Theater with marketing and communications director Jeanine Holcomb.
