When the curtain falls and the audience leaves… who’s still at the Apollo?

Paranormal Investigations at the historic Apollo Civic Theatre

Spend the after-hours investigating one of Martinsburg’s most historic buildings — a theatre filled with more than a century of stories. Join us on a Friday night in October, or bring your own group any time of year.

Friday Night Investigations

Every Friday in October, the Apollo opens its doors after hours for a paranormal investigation. Bring your curiosity, your courage, and a friend you can grab when something goes bump in the night — seasoned investigators, skeptics and the simply curious are all welcome.

11 PM – 3 AM · $35 per person

Prefer to reserve by email? Write to [email protected] by 6 PM on the day you’d like to join.

Who’s still here?

Meet George… well, maybe. Theatre folklore tells of a bearded stagehand in overalls, fleeting figures near the stage, and the mysterious scent of cigar smoke. Then there’s Charlie, said to have managed the theatre in the 1920s. Could either make an appearance?

Private Group Investigations

Bring your own crew any time of year. Private investigations run 11 PM to 3 AM and are led alongside the Mid-Atlantic Paranormal Investigations group.

  • $350 for a group of up to 10
  • Each additional guest $35 (we recommend 16 or fewer)
  • A $175 deposit holds your date, with the balance due before your investigation
