Description

Reports from this historic movie theater describe an intensely oppressive and dangerous atmosphere. People inside have experienced escalating phenomena that leave them feeling physically threatened by whatever occupies the space. The location is said to be crowded with chaotic energy and dozens of dangerous entities. At the center of the activity is a highly dominant, malevolent male spirit. This entity reportedly not only haunts the property but possesses the rare ability to manipulate the living and control the other spirits trapped inside the building.

πŸ“ Case Notes

Haunted Lineage note: The property is tied to a historic and deadly love triangle that ultimately culminated in a shocking murder. There was also a murder across the street that could contribute to the haunting. These sudden, violent traumas left a permanent scar on the location, providing a grim historical origin for the aggressive, controlling energy that people still encounter there today. Β 

History

Key’s Auditorium Theatre Opens -January 15, 1915

The venue originally opened its doors as Key’s Auditorium Theatre, housing 1,000 seats. Its inaugural performance was a live stage presentation of Henry W. Savage’s play “Everywoman”.

The Fox Era – December 1930

Under the ownership of Fox Midwest Theatres, the venue was officially renamed the Fox Auditorium Theatre. It operated under the Fox banner for exactly 30 years.

Β 
Return to Independent Roots – November 1960

The Fox name was dropped when the National Theatres chain took over the property, led by local resident Leo J. Hayob, and the building reverted to being called the Auditorium Theatre. Following the closure of the nearby Mary Lou Theatre in 1964, it became the only indoor movie house operating in Marshall.

Β 
Expansion and Local Ownership – 1980s – Present

The theater was tripled in size in the early 1980s and rebranded as Marshall Cinema 3. Following a brief closure by B&B Theatres in 2010, the venue was purchased locally and transitioned back into an independently owned and operated hometown theater, dropping the “3” to become the Marshall Cinema.
