EXCERPT

From "Byrd theater Has More than Movies" chapter:

The ghost has also been witnessed by the projectionists, in the projection booth. Windows from the booth look out into the theater and the shadow of "someone" would pass by them. The projectionist would turn around and find no one there. Todd says that whether it was Coulter’s ghost, or someone else’s, it’s hard to tell from just a shadow. No one ever found out who or what the shadow belonged to. Another place that Coulter had been seen was at the back doors after closing when someone would be barring them. Suddenly he’d appear to the person locking up, as if he was offering to help do the job, too.

The ghost seems to prefer to make appearances when the theater is dark and deserted, and others are not around, except for the person who has the experience. However, he had been spotted a time or two seeming to be enjoying a movie with fellow movie-goers. These instances have been reported by employees and their friends who were allowed by Todd to go up to the balcony (normally blocked off) to watch a movie. They noticed the elderly gentlemen sitting in the seat Coulter preferred when he was alive. Afterwards they would ask Todd, “Who was that old man in the seat up there?” Obviously, the only answer: Coulter, as no one else is allowed up there.
