Opera House

I spent a good 9 years of my childhood going to this theater. Its one of the cherries found in Mcconnelsville.
Being the only movie theater in the town, and only able to show one movie at a time, you are kind of limited unless you want to drive the next city over for a half hour drive.
However the Opera House is an amazing location that’s worth the stop. You walk in and this place is huge! there is a lower level as well as a balcony level all filled with chairs viewed at the main stage. All the chairs are kind of old time movie style, they aren’t those massive lazy boy seats, but more like the bench seats that movies used to have. There are so many seats in this building, you could bring a party of 20 people and still have tons of space for other movie goers.
They have all sorts of entertainment within this building, they have new movies, plays, events, as well as paranormal activity!
That’s right, haha Opera House has been known to be one of the more haunted locations in Ohio. Since I used to live in this town, I came to know the owners of this establishment. I spoke with the first owner and he told me of a time when he was working on the projector late at night when suddenly he heard a piano being played from the stage. He walked down the stairs and into the doorway of the first level, where he saw the piano on stage, but nobody sitting there. He then walked toward the stage down the center isle to the stage, looked under the stage (the section where actors would change when doing a play, and there was nobody, But when he came out from under the stage he looked to his left and he swore he saw an Usher from when the building was first built walking down the right isle toward him. Talk about freaky!
There have been so many documentaries done on this building, and it brings in all sorts of people from out of town.
I never personally experienced anything freaky, so call me a skeptic lol. Still a fun story however.
