The Everett Theatre is rumored to be haunted by at least one spirit, with some reports mentioning a malevolent ghost named "Smiling Al," who appeared in 1995 wearing dark clothes and an opera cape and could be seen materializing to walk through the aisles and walls. Others have reported seeing a female spirit and a little girl playing in the balcony, with some experiencing physical sensations like tugs on their legs or objects being touched. The activity seems to have started after the theatre was renovated in 1993, though the identity and origins of the entities remain unknown. Some witnesses have seen a male figure protrude through the projection booth window, a spirit walk through the aisle, or a full-bodied apparition of a man with a big grin and an opera cape. Visitors have reported feeling tugs on their legs or hair, and one instance involved an employee's sweater levitating and then dropping to the floor. Voices have been heard calling people's names in empty areas of the building, and children's laughter has been reported. Doors have been pushed open, and objects have been moved, such as a volunteer's sweater levitating.
