"We're excited to spend our evenings with the Fox's patrons," said Roosevelt (Resident Ghost of the Fox Theatre Boiler Room - deceased, 1945). "It sure beats playing tricks on the workers."

The tours will feature history on the Fox's ghosts with real accounts of unexplainable encounters culled from the theatre's staff and contractors in addition to the rich history of the 86 year old auditorium.

Tour attendees will walk in the eerie footsteps of Roosevelt, the man who frequently haunts the boiler room at the Fox, stoking the boilers and tending to the equipment. Over the years, Fox staff has reported that if you upset Roosevelt, he will slam doors, hit things or turn the lights off on you.

The boiler room is only one of the eerie stops you will make on the special, limited time Ghost Tours offered at The Fox Theatre. Other spooky stops include the hospital room, dressing rooms, power room, and sub-basement areas including the stage freight elevator.

Over the years, Fox staff have seen these ghosts and felt their presence, will you?
