The Ghost Story
The spirit of Frederick Pabst is said to roam these darkened halls after the lights dim, fiercely protective of the venue he dedicated so much of his life to creating. In 2015, Milwaukee filmmaker Michael Brown documented unusual paranormal activity during an investigation, making shocking discoveries while attempting to contact spirits within the building.
