The Landmark Theatre on S. Salina St., Syracuse, NY
The Landmark Theatre almost came to be nothing more than rubble at one time, but was luckily saved and restored. Good thing too, otherwise Clarissa, the phantom of the theatre, would have had nowhere to haunt. Clarissa (known as Claire by others) has been haunting the theatre since sometime in the 1930's when she supposed fell from the theatre balcony to her death after watching her beloved get electrocuted on the stage area. Other reports claim that she was a bitter actress that jumped to her death after not getting the part that she wanted. Regardless of the true reason behind her untimely demise, she's still making her presence known, especially to those who break theatre rules or just plain annoy her.
During the restoration of the theatre, several workers claimed to have seen her, clad completely in white, standing up on the balcony where she fell or jumped. There have also been reports of a male ghost that haunts the theatre as well. He is thought to be the ghost of a maintenance man who died in the theatre sometime in the 1970's. EVP recordings have been taken by ghosthunters and the findings greatly support, not only the claims of a supernatural presence but also that Clarissa fell off the balcony and did not commit suicide. Regardless of which spirit may be roaming around at any given time, you can be sure to run into at least one when visiting the Landmark Theatre.
