Shuler Theater, Raton
The Shuler Theater in Raton, New Mexico, is widely believed to be haunted by several "happy spirits," including the ghost of a benevolent former caretaker. Ghost stories and paranormal experiences, such as disembodied voices, sounds, and unexplained movements, have long been a part of the theater's lore. Unlike some hauntings that involve a single, tragic ghost, the Shuler Theater is said to be occupied by multiple friendly and content spirits. According to a psychic who visited the theater, many of these "happy spirits" reside in the attic, which is used for storing costumes and props. Patrons, staff, and performers have reported hearing voices and other noises when no one else is around. These unexplained sounds add to the theater's eerie and mysterious reputation. Mysterious and unexplainable events, such as objects being moved or sounds emanating from seemingly empty spaces, are a common part of the Shuler's ghost stories. The theater's haunted status was enhanced when a psychic investigator visited and identified "hot spots" of spiritual activity, confirming the widespread belief that the building is indeed a home for spirits.
