- There's something
about the building.

[Eerie whispering]

Working at the capitol theatre,

it did leave you
with an eerie feeling.

I'm not easily scared,

but it's a feeling of evil.

It's mine to make
sure it's secure,

but I don't feel secure.

- Wham.

There is something
definitely messing with me.

[Demonic roar]

- I know what I saw.

It sure as heck wasn't
in the job description.

- There's something behind you.

[Haunting music]

♪ ♪

- I've always to, you know,
work in law enforcement.

It's kind of a cliche thing,

but I wanted to do it
ever since I was a child.

My job as a protective
service officer

is to watch over
numerous county facilities,

and my first assignment
was the capitol theatre.

It's been around
for a long time,

the capitol theatre.

It's a part of salt
lake's history.

- Thanks for the ride.

- Come on in.

- I met officer mathews.

He was assigned to me
about a week, two weeks,

depending how long
it took an individual

to get accustomed
to the building.

He flipped the lights on.

Then you truly get
to see the theater,

and it's just
absolutely gorgeous.

- It's amazing.

- When officer
Murphy first arrived,

he was nervous.

He was apprehensive,

because it was
a new job for him,

but he was eager to learn,

so we jumped right into it.

- There are surveillance
cameras throughout the facility.

- You can pull up
anything you want, all right?

So you got your center stage.

Next one: Catacomb.

Front door, important.
- Okay.

- So you literally could
sit in the control room

and monitor just about
anywhere in the building.

- Ready for a tour?
- Let's do it.

- I felt officer mathews didn't
want to say a whole lot to me

except for my duties.

Now, the first time
when you come on shift,

you lock everything down.

- There are a lot of
nooks and crannies

that anybody can be in,

and so you want to make
sure that you check them out

to make sure that
there's nobody in there.

- Bet you can't wait
to be on your own.

- I took him down
into the basement,

which is what we
call the catacombs.

- The basement is massive.

- Security lights.
See these lights here?

- There's a lot of rooms:

Dressing rooms, locker rooms.

There's maintenance,

the wood shop.

- These are important.

- So you would just go through,

and you would
test every doorknob

to make sure that
they were locked.

And then you would work your
way up into the different levels.

- That's about it.

- That's everything?

- He was quiet.
He was very quiet.

- That's it.

- I just felt that he was
holding something back.

Finally I decided... I
came to work one night.

I thought, "I can
do this on my own.

It's not hard."

I had the building down. I
knew what had to be done.

I've got it down pat.

So as I come up
the west stairwell,

now I'm on the third floor.

And the building's
all but locked down.

[Eerie crackling]

[Indistinct whispering]

[Walkie-talkie clicks off]

[Indistinct whispering]

I make my way down,

and this is where the
rehearsal rooms are.

I stick my head in quickly

just to make sure
there's nobody there.

Everything was good.

[Door slams]

Door slams behind me.

I mean, with
incredible force, it just...

[Claps]

I'm looking to see if
somebody ran down the hall,

if they ran and hit the exit.

- Officer Murphy called me,

and he says, "somebody
just slammed a door up here."

- Can you check
the cameras? Over.

- Copy that, checking now.

I don't see anything.
- Okay.

- I'm coming now.

- I'm thinking logically:

"You can't slam the door.

There's a hydraulic
hinge on the top."

So I start to remove my gun,

and I got it in the
ready position.

[Clicking]

I get this strong impression

somebody's waiting for me.

There is an individual in there.

My adrenaline kicks in.

It's my duty. I'm an officer.

I'm gonna make sure.

- I remember running
as fast as I could

through the theater
to get to where he was.

And you got to understand,

when somebody says,
"there's somebody in here,"

you believe them 110%.

- I walk in.

[Water dripping]

I just get... this sickening
feeling comes over me.

And as soon as I come
around the corner...

I've got goose bumps.

And this...

This cold goes right through me.

I'm freezing to death.

[Water dripping]

- Sheriff's department.
Come out now.

- It's a feeling of evil.

[Water dripping]

- I can see the sink, I
see the men's urinal,

and I see the stalls.

And I look
underneath the stalls,

and there's no feet there.

There's... so I'm thinking
maybe they're on...

Standing on the
toilets, trying to hide.

Nobody's there.

And that's when I turn,
and I look at officer Murphy,

and he's got this look of, like,

"oh, boy, I messed
this one up big-time."

- Nothing here, dude.

- I'm not easily intimidated,

but the feeling I had
in the restroom was...

I was... i was scared.

- All right, better
do a full sweep,

see if anyone's hiding out.

All right?
- Okay.

- We decide, "okay, if there's
somebody in this building,

we need to find 'em."

- We go to the second floor.

I'm standing there in amazement,

and I'm shocked.

I mean, I had just
turned those lights off.

I mean, I'd just
locked those doors.

I secured that floor.

Every light is on,

and doors are open.

- I just locked this door.

Did you come up here earlier?
- No.

- I turned the lights
off, I locked the door,

and I went down the stairs.

- I know I secured it.

It was kind of cold
between, I felt, mathews and I

the remainder of that evening.

- I don't want to say I was
holding something back,

but there had been
some unusual things

that had happened to me
while working in the theater,

and I just couldn't
come out and tell him.

I needed to keep my credibility

as his training officer.

- [Whispering] Help me. Help me.

- I was sitting at my
desk in the security room

when I start to hear voices.

[Voices whispering indistinctly]

And when I'm talking voices,

I'm not talking about
how I'm talking right now,

but these are conversations
that are going on behind me...

[Voices whispering indistinctly]

[Imitates whispering]

Like somebody's
having a conversation

and they want
to keep it private.

[Voices whispering indistinctly]

When I turn around...

There's nobody there.

[Voices whispering indistinctly]

At this point,

the hairs on the back of my
neck are starting to prick up.

- [Whispering]
Now get... get out.

[Coughing]

- My heart's going.

- [Whispering] Help.

- And I'm thinking, "something
really is messing with me..."

- I can't breathe.

- "Something or someone."

I know I'm not crazy.

[Voices whispering indistinctly]

- Get out. Get out of here.

Get out of here. Get out.

Get out of here.

- I went into the basement,

where all the
dressing rooms are...

No voices.

It's almost cave-like.

There was no windows.

There was no street access.

You're trapped.

And I smell something.

And I recognize
what that smell is.

I smell smoke.

That smoke smell is so constant,

the theater would've had
to burn down multiple times.

But I'm 100% positive

there is nothing going on.

Something that's
messing with you,

that's playing
mind tricks on you,

you really begin to
question your own self.

- I had come on duty one night.

It was... it was later
in the afternoon,

so maybe 4:00,
5:00-ish, thereabouts,

and I do my routine.

And there's a man...
- That's interesting.

- Standing at
the end of the hall

talking to two women.

So I'm in the corridor,

and I'm listening to the women

tell this gentleman a story.

- Well, these ghost
stories and hauntings,

they've been going on
for many, many years.

- And I hear the word "ghost."

That's got my attention now.

- Excuse me, sir?

- You know, I
introduce myself to him.

- Dave Murphy.

I'm the new deputy
here at the theater.

- He says, "I'm Blair Fuller.
I'm the senior accountant."

- Would you mind if I
asked you a few questions?

- Sure.

Why don't you
step into my office?

- That'd be great. Thank you.

- He was very curious
after having heard

that I'd had some
experiences there.

- Have a seat right here.

- So I began to share
with him the story

that happened to
me as I was there

working late at night.

- I tend to get a lot more
things done when I work late.

- So I'm working at about
9:00 or 10:00 in the evening.

Just outside of our
main office is an elevator.

When the motor
kicks on for that,

it's a very loud noise.

[Motor whirring, elevator dings]

[Elevator dings]

- I'm there in the
building alone,

so I was very surprised to
hear the elevator moving at night.

[Elevator dings]

The elevator reached our floor.

[Elevator dings]

[Elevator dings]

[Loud buzzing]

- It takes 30 to 40 seconds
for an alarm to go off

if the door stays
open that long.

I walked out to the elevator
to see what was going on.

[Elevator alarm buzzing]

I thought, "that's really odd.

There's nothing
blocking the door."

I thought that it was
most likely a malfunction.

So I got on the elevator,

and just as I'm about
to leave the elevator...

[Elevator dings]

The basement button has lit.

We're going down
now three floors

from where my office is

to the basement.

[Elevator dings]

And this whole time,
my mind is running.

"What is going on
with this elevator?

Why is it moving?"

[Elevator dings]

[Elevator dings]

[Elevator dings]

We get to the basement.

The doors open.

There's nobody in the hallway.

- Hello!

[Indistinct whispering]

Hello!

Is anyone there?

- There was nobody
that I could see,

and I was very alone

and very nervous
at that point in time.

[Motor whirring]

- [Whispering] Help.

[Coughing]

- I went back and
sat down at my desk,

and then it even gets stranger.

[Metallic scraping]

[Metallic clanging]

clang,

clang.

Clang, clang, clang, clang,

clang, clang, clang.

I was very, very scared.

I tried to find
every way I could

to disprove what was going on...

What my eyes and my
senses were telling me...

And I couldn't do it.

- If there's anything
else you want to ask...

- From what I'm
hearing from Blair,

I felt that somebody else
has similar experiences to me.

I'm not going crazy.

Because that's one
of the things I felt:

I was going crazy.

We're getting towards the
end of my training period,

and we're on the second
tier of the auditorium,

the seating area.

- Morgan?

- What's up?

- I said, "do you
ever get the feeling

you're being
watched in this place?"

- What do you mean?

- Since I've started here,

I've heard weird noises.

Doors have slammed on me.

- Lights are on in places
where you know there's nobody.

- I just have this...
Just a feeling of dread.

- That's kind of when he
starts to open up to me.

- And the voices...

- And we just started
having conversations

about my experiences there.

- What he's been hearing...

- How long has this
been happening to you?

- Since day one.

- What he's been feeling...

- And I think I'm right there...

Gone.

- Once he opened up to me

and we started
exchanging stories,

my good friend
Greg came to mind.

And he's got a gift,

an ability to see things.

- Officer Murphy
wanted to bring him in

and see what he could find.

- Greg.
- Dave.

- Nice to see you.

- And I was like,
"let's do it. I'm all for it."

- This is my boss, Morgan.

- Morgan, how are you?
- Good to meet you.

- I had known officer
Murphy for probably 15 years.

Shortly after he began
working at the capitol theatre,

I received a call from him.

- Give you the grand tour?
- Let's go.

- And he invited
me to come over.

- I didn't tell him anything.

I didn't tell him about
our experiences, nothing.

He came in cold.

- Looking around,

I noted that there are
many people standing there.

- So I'm playing stupid.

I'm like, "what do
you mean, Greg?"

- The officers were oblivious.

- He said, "you didn't tell
me this place was haunted,

and they're not good."

- And from that point on, I
was watching and listening

to see if the things
that I was going through

could be validated through him.

- There are stairs that lead
down underneath the stage

into the dressing area,

into the actors' dressing rooms.

So we went down.

- So we're looking
down the hallway...

And we notice one
of the doors is open.

And it's open, you
know, a good foot.

[Door slams]

Wham, that door shut
so hard and so fast.

- Mathews turns to me,

and he's got that "holy
crap" look on his face.

- Both officer Murphy and
I reach for our weapons.

- Cover?
- Gotcha.

[Door handle rattling]

- The door handle
started rattling.

[Door handle rattling]

- Three of us are
seeing, hearing

something physical happen.

- Doors slams, and
then all of a sudden,

this door is shaking like crazy.

You check the room
out. There's nothing there.

I mean, how do you explain it?

- It's weird.

- They were both very,
very rattled at that point.

Both officers were
very, very rattled.

- You see now?

Do you see? Do you see?

- It's been happening
every night.

- How can you talk
about your feelings

other than just
like... [Exhales]

"Whoa, you know, this is
really happening right now"?

- We started down the hall.

And as we proceeded
forward, it got warmer.

- Greg is hitting a hot spot

where I know that
there's something there,

because I can always
smell the smoke.

- I said to Dave
and officer mathews,

"has there been a
fire in this building?"

And they said, "why do you ask?"

And I said, "I can smell smoke."

- Greg, you all right?

- Shine the light in
this corner for me.

- I saw a young man.

- I don't see anything.

- It's right there.

- I don't see anything.

- It's dark.

We're the only three people
in the basement at that time.

There is nobody
else in the theater.

Both officer Murphy and I

just kind of looked
at each other.

[Exhales]

It was unbelievable.

I mean, everything
that he had told us,

everything that had
happened to us previously

and had happened
to us that night...

You know, it was validation.

- But it sure as heck
wasn't in the job description.

- You know, after Greg had left,

things just kind of got
more and more crazy.

The thing that really pushed
it over the edge for me

was that the county had just
installed a brand-new camera...

Security camera.

It was an infrared camera,
so when the lights were off,

you could actually see what
was going on in the dark.

As I'm sitting there,

I notice that there is something
sitting in one of the rows.

I maximize that screen

so it's full screen on
the computer monitor,

and there's a figure.

It looks like he's
enjoying a show.

And then all of a sudden...

[Demonic roar]

He just shoots across the sky.

He's going... [Roars]

As he's going across.

And that... that scared me.

And from that point on,

I would not work in the theater,

because if there's something
that is that demonic,

I don't want to be around it.

- Well, you always
feel comfortable

if you have a partner,

if you have a backup.

There's nobody
now to back me up.

I'm alone now.

On the night I would come in:

Lock, turn the lights off.

Come back two hours later.

Lights are on...

Doors are open,

and nobody's in the building.

Now I've got to
search the basement.

It's mine to make
sure it's safe.

It's secure.

But I don't feel secure.

- It was a quiet evening,

and I'm in the control room.

- Yeah, I'm still at work.

And I hear music,
like, ragtime music.

[Ragtime piano music]

- Hold on. I'll call
you right back.

- Everything's locked. I'd
gone through the building.

I checked.

There was nobody
in the building.

[Ragtime piano music]

♪ ♪

The music wasn't coming
from the auditorium.

♪ ♪

[Music loudens]

♪ ♪

I made my way down
the east-side stairwell,

and the music's getting louder.

♪ ♪

If I could come
around the corner

and see a prankster
on the piano...

I'd breathe a sigh of relief.

♪ ♪

[Loud slam, music stops]

Where's the individual?

[Piano cover slams]

I witnessed enough. I
didn't have to see any more.

Who am I gonna call, dispatch?

The piano's playing and
nobody's in the building?

I don't want to
be in the building.

I just want to get out.

The next day I went and
saw my sergeant, and I said,

"if you ever put me
in that theater again,

I'll quit."

- I've been a police officer
for about 5 1/2 years.

At this time, I was in
protective services division.

First time I worked
at capitol theatre,

I'm walking downstairs
to the basement area.

I had already
cleared the building,

made sure no one was
inside, doors were locked.

- I was in the
patrol car that night,

making sure the other
officers were safe,

everything was okay.

- How's it going over there?

- Just doing the rounds.

- I just thought I'd
check up on you.

First night and all.

[Motor whirring]

[Elevator dings]

- Murphy, the elevator's moving.

I know it's impossible,
but it's moving.

- I'm on my way.

[Siren wailing]

- I race over to the theater.

[Elevator dings]

[Elevator dings]

[Siren wailing]

[Elevator dings]

[Door clattering]

- There's no one there.

And that kind of
just freaked me out.

[Siren wailing]

- I got there as
quickly as I could,

but that night,

I had no desire to
be in the building.

He meets me at the door.

I mean, his eyes were huge.

I mean, his expression was...

- As soon as he arrived,

I let him know that I
haven't seen anyone leave.

Let's go ahead and
clear the building.

So we got our guns drawn,
and we're going through.

[Eerie whispering]

- Did you see that?

- I look in the mirror,

and all of a sudden, I
see something run by.

I look at Murphy.

"Did you just see that?"

- I don't see nothing.

- You take the
right. I'll take the left.

- I go towards the stage door.

That's quite a distance away.

[Lightbulb crackles]

[Indistinct whispering]

- What'd you say?

- All of a sudden,
I hear a whisper.

- Didn't say anything.

- And I noticed he's clear
on the other side of the stage.

- Quit messing with me, man.

- I said, "what?"

He says,

"you just whispered in my ear."

- I get it. It's creepy.

- And he's got his back turned
towards the back of the stage,

and I'm looking
at the auditorium

where all the seats are at.

- Murphy, there's
something behind you.

- Murphy, there's
something behind you.

- I turn around slow.

[Demonic roar]

- Holy cow,
this... what is this?

- I didn't want to see it.

- I pulled out my
flashlight, and I point it at it,

and it disappears.

- There's nothing there.

- I know I'm not
just seeing this.

The eyes were deep-socketed,

and it was just
looking right at me,

and that kind of
just freaked me out.

- Now, I wanted to find out

who these beings were

or the stories that
were circulating,

so I went back,

and I talked to staff.

I mean, I talked
to a lot of people,

but they weren't
saying a whole lot.

So as I was leaving,

this man came out.

- Officer Murphy.

- He handed me a piece of paper.

He said, "contact this
man if he's still alive."

Doug Morgan is a stagehand
who had worked there.

He'd probably been
around the capitol theatre

a good 40 years.

- I remember having
Dave come to the house.

He had stories that he
wanted to fill up little holes

in the stories he had heard.

- Doug, thanks
again for having me.

- And I said, "Doug, you know,

"this is what's been
happening to me over there,

and people think I'm crazy."

I said, "can you
shed some light?"

- Haven't opened this
case in a lot of years.

- I first started working
at the theater in 1948.

I was an Usher at that time.

Well, one day, I was
running some errands.

And when I returned,

I found the capitol theatre
surrounded with fire trucks.

- This is a photo.

- I'm like, "fire?"

- Fire, yes.

I got back. That's
the scene I saw.

- The fire itself started
in the basement.

That afternoon, there
was a movie being shown,

and at least 600 people

had to be evacuated
from the theater.

- Well, Dougie had told
me that he knew another boy

by the name of Richard duffin.

- Richard duffin
was a new Usher.

He went back in to help
the folks that were still lost.

Well, Richard was
trapped in that basement

and very possibly lost his way

and was overcome by this smoke

while he was trying to
help these people get out.

- There it was in
black and white:

Back in the '40s,

the fire in the capitol theatre

and the boy... The
young boy, duffin...

The Usher that died in the fire.

- I think that duffin
was a very brave man.

- Doug Morgan
verified everything I saw

and everything I witnessed.

- Well, Doug, thanks
very much for seeing me.

- Well, thanks for
coming over, Dave.

- This man almost
brought me to tears,

because I knew...

I knew before, I wasn't crazy.

To this day, I
know I'm not crazy.

- It just made sense
with everything, you know,

everything that
I'd gone through.

A shaking door:

Someone's trapped, and
they're trying to get out.

[Door handle rattling]

Here's this fire that
killed somebody,

and yet I can still smell smoke.

- I had been told
by other officers,

"you need to learn
to shut your mouth."

Mm-mm, I can't.

They were thinking I
was making this up.

I wanted to prove them wrong.

I know what I saw.

I know what I felt.

These things... That's
a part of my life now.
