The Prescott Center for the Arts (PCA) is rumored to be haunted, with its historic building contributing to Prescott's reputation as a city with significant supernatural activity. Located in a former schoolhouse built in 1916, the building's long history has given rise to tales of lingering spirits. While specific, detailed accounts of hauntings at the PCA are not widely published, general descriptions of activity reported at the building and other historic Prescott theaters often include: Strange, cold spots: Patrons and employees sometimes report sudden, unexplained temperature drops in different areas of the theater. Phantom touches: A common experience in many haunted venues, people in the PCA have reported feeling as if someone tapped or touched their shoulder when no one was there. Lingering spirits: A more general description, this suggests the presence of spirits who have never left the building. Because it was once a school and is now a theater, it's possible that many different historical spirits may be present. The PCA's spectral reputation exists within the context of Prescott's overall haunted history. The city's first capital was founded in 1864, and its rich and dramatic past is filled with supernatural lore.
