forth through the aisles of the balcony. Another time, while the final
movie was playing for the evening, three staff members watched as a
roll of paper towels hanging on the wall in the concession stand,
rapidly started to unravel onto the floor. One employee put his hand
out to stop it. It stopped until he removed his hand, and then it
started up again. Employees and patrons reported that when they would
walk into the men’s room, they would sense that something was there. It
would be a weird electrical vibration, as if you were to accidentally
shock yourself while plugging something in. It’s only mild and it just
seems to flood the ro om from ceiling to floor. One evening after
closing, there was a report of toilets flushing and sinks turning on at
full blast. In the projection room at the very top of the balcony,

small on either side) that were not there in the light of the following
