The Chester Little Theatre (also known as the Dreamland Theatre) in Chester, SC, is described as haunted by multiple spirits, including a former stagehand who left his coffee cup and is accompanied by strange lights and sounds, and the spirit of a woman who died after an assault in the 1950s, potentially disliking white males. Other phenomena include independent lights on stage, a distinct flapping film strip sound from the defunct projector, and a foul pipe tobacco smell in the projection booth. The ghost of a former stagehand who died about 20 years ago is reported to linger. His hot coffee cup was found still full during a performance, and he is associated with green and orange lights that move independently on stage. A woman who was assaulted and died on the balcony stairs in the 1950s is said to haunt the area. Her presence is linked to a choking sensation and a slap on the stairs, and she is believed to have a dislike for white males. The distinct smell of foul pipe tobacco, which was associated with a former projectionist, has been detected in the projection booth. A haze was also seen during one paranormal investigation. During an investigation, a witness saw the apparition of a balding man in his mid-50s with horn-rimmed glasses and a green shirt standing in the balcony. This area was historically where African-American patrons sat in the 1950s and 60s. Disembodied voices and footsteps have been heard on stage and in the auditorium. The distinct sound of a film strip flapping at its end is heard, despite the projector being located in the old jail museum. Cylinders of green and orange lights have been seen moving independently on stage. Props on the balcony have been moved, and voices and footsteps have been heard in empty spaces. A woman seen in a window, possibly attached to a large hand-carved bed in storage, vanished when investigators went to check.
