Harvard Exit Theater
This cinema, opened in 1968, is haunted. The movie theater is in a three-story brick building constructed in the 1900s. When a second auditorium and screen was constructed on the third floor in the early 1970s, the ghosts of several women dressed in turn-of-the-century clothing began to appear. Most of the sightings were on the third floor and near a fireplace on the first floor. The encounters were accompanied by an assortment of strange phenomena, which continued until 1987. The only possible historical connection is Bertha Landes, the founder of the Women's Century Club, which had occupied the building for many years. In 1988, relics of her administration and her personal belongings were displayed at a downtown museum, which reported a number of inexplicable incidents that some thought were manifestations of Landes' spirit.
The cinema is located in the Capitol Hill area of Seattle. From I-5 north, take the Olive Street exit to Broadway East. Go north to East Roy Street and turn west to the theater. The address of the theater is 807 East Roy Street, Seattle, WA 98122. Phone: 206-323-8986.
