"Theaters are fun places to visit - most of the time. These grand-looking buildings are usually filled with entertaining comedies, dramatic tragedies, and exciting musicals. Yet what happens when the most dramatic and exciting events aren't happening on the stage? Many theaters have been the scenes of shocking murders, deadly accidents, and unsolved mysteries. Withing the 11 tragic theaters in this book, you will discover the ghost of the man who shot President Abraham Lincoln, a dangerous costume that chokes anyone who tries to wear it, and an actor who wouldn't allow the fact that he was dead to keep him from the theater."--[P. 4 of cover]
