The word is this old theater is haunted.
Which is why, I am told, you won't find the local residentially challenged sleeping in the covered entrance. Which is true as far as I have observed but I am a terrible witness to these things because I don't believe in the supernatural. Yes, I know, I'm a bore but there it is.
There have been plans mooted for a while to renovate the building but so far nothing has come of it. 
The ghost seen in the window was me large as life and entirely human. The sketch was quite brilliant though inanimate.
This is a busy corner in the protoplasmic ether because across Bahama Street is another noted haunted spot in back of the ever lovely St Paul's Cathedral. 
Behind the sign there lurks a lonely sea captain if I recall correctly and knock me down with a feather if I don't know someone who's seen him!
My colleague Kristi has joined a group of friends who go ghost hunting from time to time and she got a picture of a shadowy sea captain looking dude out here one night almost a year ago under the trees.
Digital photography seems like it would be a useful tool to show up people's auras and the unhappy dead who they say lurk in our midst and Kristi's pictures of human shapes lurking like shadows are quite creepy. 
I know of one man who says he can see dead people and he's apparently seen them around here, but someone of my sceptical mien does not encourage confidences in this field and i have never spoken direclty with him of what he sees. So I leave the supernatural to those that believe but whether or not you do I highly recommend a ghost tour, it is entirely entertaining and weaves key West History into the storytelling which I really like even though the ghosts leave me unconvinced.

Dear Conchscooter:
For years, my friend Rickey owned a "troubled house." He claimed the ghost really got active when renovations were done. I spent two horrible nights in that house, one in which I had to be walked to my truck by a guy with a gun.
I don't treat these stories too lightly any more. The theater looks like a really cool building. So does the cathedral.
Fondest regards,

That theater does look like a great building. What is the attached tower used for?
We touched on this very topic during my last visit.When I told you about the dream I had before I reopened my Dad's old barber shop.While I cant say I've seen any ghosts,and my dream can be explained away,that subconsciously I wanted to see and talk to my father for his approval in following in his footsteps.I have seen to much not to think that things do exist,if your open to see them.You my friend are not one of those people.I have a feeling,sometime in the future you may experience something your analytical mind cant explain away.That story I look forward to.

While I don't have a firm belief (or disbelief) of a higher power or the supernatural, I do think that there some things that have not been explained or can be interpreted as supernatural. That said, I have had my share of strange happenings; most recently at my wife's grandparents house while I was alone in a backroom. I felt what I can only compare to as somebody blowing on my right ear and neck. Nobody was in the room and I was alone. I got out of there with a quickness.
My mother-in-law said that it was God communicating with me. What ever it was, I didn't like it.
I know, I'm putting the spirits off but they need to man up and make themselves known to me if this disbelief of mine is going to be overcome. St Thomas had the right idea, doubter that he was.
