The Peoria Players Theatre is rumored to be haunted by a non-aggressive ghost, possibly a former director or writer, with sightings of the spirit occurring at the theater on Lake and University streets. While the details are limited to anecdotal reports, the legend suggests a presence associated with the theater's history of amateur actors, writers, and stagecraft volunteers formed in 1919. The spirit is believed to be a former director or writer who was involved with the theater. The ghost is described as non-aggressive. Sightings have reportedly occurred within the theater building itself.
