On this episode, Tony Brueski investigates the Orpheum Theatre, a Memphis landmark celebrated for its live performances and long-standing ghost stories. The theater’s most famous spirit, Mary, is said to be a young girl who lingers in the mezzanine, playing tricks by flickering lights, slamming doors, and creating unexplained cold spots. Visitors and staff alike have shared strange experiences, making the Orpheum a popular destination for paranormal enthusiasts.
But what draws these mysterious events to the theater? Is it residual energy from its storied past, or could psychological factors be at play, creating ghostly illusions for those expecting them? Tony Brueski explores both sides of the story, dissecting the evidence and questioning whether the Orpheum’s paranormal reputation is deserved—or just part of the magic that has captivated audiences for over a century.
