Haunted Calumet Opera House in Michigan
The opera house in Calumet is reportedly one of upper Michigan’s most notorious haunted spots.
It’s one of the most beautiful — and at the same time, most creepy — theaters in Michigan.
This palace opened in 1900 and eventually became a favorite of many film stars who traveled to upper Michigan to attend live shows and plays.
One of the celebrity performers was Madame Helena Modjeska, who passed away in 1909 at the all-too-young age of 68….and it’s said that her ghost is one of the spirits that haunt the theater.
A glimpse of Madame Helena’s ghost was reported in 1958 while actress Adysse Lane was performing on stage. Adysse happened to look into the balcony while forgetting her line.
There, she said, she saw the figure of Madame Helena, who began mouthing the lines to her.
Adysse was able to finish the play thanks to the ghostly help from Madame Helena.
Patrons and employees have reported seeing the form of Madame Helena roaming the theater, feeling cold spots, and hearing music that comes from nowhere.
Helena is not the only apparition to roam the opera house.
In the theater in 1903, a murder victim’s ghost is sometimes seen and heard screaming at night.
