The old boiler room

Utah · United States · Theatre

Employees would not go down there alone. The account comes from a projectionist who heard the booth door open and slam, and looked under his own arm.

After hours at this cinema in Smithfield, Utah, staff describe an oppressive presence, and it is strongest in the old boiler room downstairs. Employees refused to go into it alone.

The account is first hand. The person writing was working in the projection booth one night when he heard the door open and slam.

He glanced under his own arm, and saw and heard feet running.

That posture is the detail that makes it. He did not turn round. He looked backwards under his arm without moving, which is what a person actually does when they are frightened and do not want to commit to looking.

Nobody inventing an account describes themselves behaving like that.

Smithfield is a small town in Cache Valley in northern Utah.

The theatre has operated as a cinema.
