The KiMo Theatre in Albuquerque is rumored to be haunted by the ghost of Bobby Darnall, a 6-year-old boy who died in a 1951 water heater explosion at the theater. His ghost is described as a mischievous poltergeist, and it's a tradition for performers to leave offerings like donuts or toys to appease him and prevent disruptions such as equipment malfunctions, forgotten lines, or technical glitches. Guests may experience unusual sounds, moving objects, or see a child's shadow, especially if offerings to Bobby are absent. In 1951, a water heater exploded in the theater's lobby, killing Bobby Darnall and injuring several others. Bobby's spirit is believed to linger, causing disturbances within the theater. Bobby's ghost is often described as a playful or mischievous spirit. Lights may flicker or explode, equipment can fall from the ceiling, and electrical cables might drop, particularly during performances. Actors may trip, forget lines, or experience doors and windows flying open unexpectedly. Visitors and staff may hear phantom giggles or disembodied footsteps, and some have reported seeing a child's shadow on the lobby stairs. To ensure a smooth performance or visit, performers and staff leave gifts for Bobby. These offerings can include donuts, toys, flowers, or other trinkets left on a special shrine. If offerings are removed or not provided, the paranormal activity is said to increase.
