This Well-Known Haunt is Located in Downtown Boulder
A popular spot in the city is the Boulder Theater. George Paper, who oversaw the theater in the 1940s and passed away there after being unintentionally strangled in the lighting system, is the ghost. According to rumors, George is a skilled practical joker. He is rumored to operate faucets, open doors, and flip light switches. Some claim to have seen his form.
The Boulder Theater first opened its doors in 1906 as the Curran Opera House. James Curran, the venue’s founder, was a billboard sign owner, and it specialized in silent movies, opera, and musicals. After about 20 years, the structure welcomed its first film with a spoken word.
