The
Mount Baker Theatre was one of the last great movie palaces, built
in 1927. The theatre is renowned for its Moorish-Spanish motif and
reportedly comes complete with its own ghost. Mysterious noises and
ghostly apparitions are just some of the hair-raising experiences
that long-time theatre managers and employees have reported. Will
you see the ghost?
