Summary
In 1929, the Egyptian Theatre in DeKalb, Illinois, opened its doors just as the Great Depression began. Built in the style of ancient Egypt, it became one of over 100 theaters inspired by the discovery of King Tut’s tomb. For nearly a century, it has been a community landmark, hosting vaudeville shows, films, concerts, and events. But beneath the glamour and golden décor lies another story—one steeped in the paranormal.
The Egyptian Theatre is said to be home to at least six distinct spirits. Witnesses report encounters with a woman in green, a loyal supporter named Irv who refuses to leave, and even the presence of a young girl whose laughter still echoes long after shows end. These phantoms seem tied to both the vaudeville era and modern times, suggesting the building is alive with history that refuses to rest.
In this episode of The Grave Talks, we sit down with marketing and communications director Jeanine Holcomb to explore the haunted legacy of the Egyptian Theatre, its ghosts, and the stories that keep audiences coming back for more than just the shows. This is Part Two of our conversation.
