The Rocky Mountain Paranormal Research Society was contacted to conduct an
Investigation into reported Paranormal activity of the Historic Elitch Theatre.

Before an on-site Investigation was conducted. We looked into the history of the
Location and the people that were involved in the making of the park.

History:


Elitch Gardens was always more than an amusement park. It was also:

One of the first zoos west of Chicago
The home of Denver’s first symphony orchestra
Denver’s first botanic garden
Colorado’s first Children’s Museum and activity center
The site of Denver’s first motion picture theater
Home of the Trocadero  Ballroom

Birth: 1856
Philadelphia
Pennsylvania, USA

Death: Jul. 16, 1936
Denver
Colorado, USA

Burial:
Fairmount Cemetery
Denver
Colorado. USA

More than the founder of Denver’s famed Elitch Gardens, Mary Elitch Long has a
Well-earned reputation as a businesswoman. In the male-dominated late 19th
And early 20th centuries, Mary served as a powerful role model at a time  when
Women had far fewer non-traditional role models to embrace. At that time, she
Was the only woman in the world running an amusement park.

Born in Philadelphia in 1856, Mary Hauck spent most of her childhood in
California where her father moved his livestock and fruit business.



1872
Mary Elizabeth Hauck (16 years old) meets John
Elitch in church and elopes to San Jose.
They see The Streets of New York the first play that they
Saw together and what most likely influenced Mary &
John in the theatre business.

Soon they moved to Durango and then eventually
Denver. John Started working at a local bar. In less
Than a year, he had started his own business. The
Elitch Palace Dining Room was located at 1541
Arapahoe St.

While John was starting his business, Mary was
Enjoying her own life with her interests in gardening
And the arts. She even was the president of the Denver Art Club.

1888

Denver Intending to grow fresh fruits and vegetables for the restaurant. With

Barnum and Mr. And Mrs. Tom Thumb, were among the opening day crowd.

1891
There was plenty of entertainment: from marching bands to vaudeville to light
Opera. After the close of the first season, John long invested $35,000 in a theater
Troupe. Which toured up and down the Pacific Coast. It was in San Francisco that
He contracted severe pneumonia, and died two weeks later. March 10 1891.


Mary Elitch continues to run Elitch Gardens and gains the distinction of being the
Only woman in the world to own and manage a successful summer resort. She
Was known throughout her life as “the Gracious Lady of the Gardens” and lived
On the grounds until her death.

It was a sad but determined woman who returned to Denver. A 34-year old
Widow. Short on cash, she sold the majority of her garden’s stock to a group of
Denver capitalists. She remained in an administrative capacity with the company,
And by 1894 had regained total control of the gardens. Over the next 20 years

Six Flags is considering selling a total of six of its properties across the country,
Including Elitch’s.

Six flags announced Friday it may sell its amusement parks, including Elitch
Gardens,
Attendance at all of the company’s parks is down by more than a million
Customers so far this year.

New Management was brought in last year to run Six Flags and major changes in
How parks are run have been implemented, but CEO Mark Shapiro says the
Turnaround is proving difficult.

The company reports it is close to violating the terms of its loans.

“What we are seeing, is that attendance has declined,  driven primarily by
reduced season pass attendance,” said Wendy Goldberg, a spokesperson for Six
Flags.

The goal is to sell the parks that are for sale within the next 12 to 24 months.
Shapiro has reportedly received inquiries from potential buyers, but they are not
Being identified.

Just because the parks may be sold, does not mean they will close their doors.
“We are not closing the parks, you know, emphatically not closing the parks, in
fact we’re investing more money into all our Six Flags parks,”  said Goldberg.
 
However, a new owner could choose to redevelop the land.

“I sure hope they don’t redevelop the land, it’s been such a good thing for LoDo,
to have something that families can come and do,” said Joni Zigan, a visitor to
the amusement park on Friday.

Sandy Zigan, Joni’s daughter, said, “If they move it, well at least they move it, but
Tear it down, that’s just wrong!”

Six Flags says until any sales are final it will continue to invest money in all of its
Parks. The company has spent $15 million on improvements in 2006 alone.

History in the making:
By: Tom Noel
April 29, 2006
Mary Elitch would be tickled pink about the restoration of her theater. She would
Love to see Elitch Theater in bright lights again, for John Elitch was the love of her
Life. She adored his black wavy curls and rich Alabama accent. She doted on the
Theater celebrity in Denver and San Francisco, who also starred as an athlete,
Co-founder and president of The Denver Athletic Club.

The ubiquitous Johnny also operated Denver’s most popular restaurant and
Oyster house, Elitch’s Palace at 1541 Arapahoe St. When the 41-year-old wonder
Was stricken ill while performing in San Francisco, his wife Mary, rushed from
Denver to his California deathbed.

“John Elitch, Jr., is known in nearly every household in Denver,” claimed the
March 11 1891, Denver Republican Obituary. “The same brave, genial John to
The end,” the story continued, rose just before death with superhuman effort to
Shake hands with his friends and embrace his wife. Mary had his profile, with the
Curly hair and mustache, carved onto his tombstone at Fairmount Cemetery. For
The next 45 years she kept the gardens and the theater alive in his memory.

Theater had been their first love – they opened Elitch’s Gardens in 1890 with a
“Theatorium” for vaudeville and light opera. This original round, open-sided
“Playhouse in the Gardens” grew into a larger, circular enclosure inspired by the
Globe Theater of William Shakespeare’s time. The theater evolved over the years
Into a wooden octagon two stories high with a tent-shaped shingle roof crowned
By a flagpole.



Elitch’s also presented Colorado’s first motion pictures. On Aug. 14, 1896, Mary
Introduced the Edison Vitascope  to Colorado, allowing astonished locals to see
Moving pictures.

Almost until the end of her life, Mary lived at the gardens next to her theater. She
Told visitors about hosting dwarf celebrity Tom Thumb and how Sarah Bernhardt
Fearlessly petted the Elitch lioness subsequently named for her. After Mary’s
Death in 1936, Denver’s Irish flour milling magnate, John K. Mullen, bought
Elitch’s and turned it over to the Mulvihill-Gurtler clan. They ran it for another half
Century.

Colorado’s oldest, best-known amusement park moved to its current site in the
Central South Platte Valley site in 1995, leaving the already closed theater
Behind. Many figured that the theater was as dead as John and Mary. Pigeons,
Mice and foxes trod the stage where hundreds of nationally prominent actors and
Actresses had performed, including Sid Caesar, Douglas Fairbanks Jr,. Myrna
Loy, Vincent Price, Robert Redford, Lynn Redgrave, Debbie Reynolds, Ginger
Rogers, and Mickey Rooney. Grace Kelly starred at Elitch’s in 1951 and in 1953
Jimmy Stewart and June Allyson spent two days there filming The Glenn Miller
Story.



The theater’s reincarnation began on April 17, with the kickoff of a two-year,
$14.2 million reconstruction and restoration project that aims to reopen the grand
dame of Colorado theaters as the Center for America’s Theater at Historic Elitch
Gardens.

The resurrection of a designated Denver and National Register Historic
Landmark is being funded with $2.2 million in tax-increment financing from the
Denver Urban Renewal Authority, $600,000 from owner-developers Perry-Rose
LLC, with $355,000 from the Colorado Historical Society’s State Historical Fund,
And $300,000 from Save America’s Treasures.

Denverite Chuck Perry, who once ushered at Elitch’s Theater, spearheaded its
Reconstruction on the original site. It will become a centerpiece for his
Surrounding New Urbanist residential neighborhood, bounded by West 36th and
38th avenues between Tennyson and Wolff streets.

At the center of the new neighborhood, the old wooden theater will get its first
Foundation and heating system. If all goes according to plan, Elitch’s Theater will
Reopen in 2008 for year-round programming of music, dance and theater. Some
Day, the theater should stage a play about the astonishing couple that built it and
Put Denver on the theatrical map.



The new plans:
Scrape that paint

More than 200 attended groundbreaking ceremonies at the historic Elitch Theater
On Monday, including Mayor John Hickenlooper, U.S. Sen. Wayne Allard, City
Auditor Dennis Gallagher, a youth band, neighbors and dozens of area
Schoolchildren.

Rather than truly breaking ground – there are already enough holes there – the
Ceremony took a clever twist. Dignitaries scraped the paint off Mary Elitch’s
Private box.

Owner Chuck Perry , who was an usher at the theater as a kid, told a moving
Story about his aunt, who died last week. Her dream was “to live to be 100 and to
Dance at this theater when it reopens,” he said.

Hickenlooper recalled living three blocks away and the recurring sound of the
Mister Twister roller coaster. “It reminded me of  being at the beach, and every 40
Seconds was like a giant wave breaking,” he said.

Allard, who grew up near Walden, pointed out that the Theater was a date
Destination for all Coloradoans, some of whom drove hundreds of miles.

The $14.2 million restoration is expected to take two years.

Another interesting item on the property is this tree. It has grown around a metal
Pole that Mary placed on the property. (You can see in the satellite image, that
The tree is one of the only surviving objects outside the land of the Theatre)


Detailed drawings and specifications have been prepared under the direction of
OZ Architecture and its planning team.

The general site plan and Phase One construction drawings have been approved
By the National Park Service. Colorado State Historical Fund and the Denver
Landmarks Commission. A two-phase construction program has been
Developed. In general terms, Phase One, scheduled for the 2006 construction
Season, Includes repairs to the structural system, the addition of a foundation and
Insulation, restoration and rehabilitation of the exterior of the historic building, and
ADA building access. Given the precarious nature of the building’s condition, this
Is the phase that truly “saves” the Theater
Phase Two, scheduled to begin in late 2007. Includes construction of the new fly
Building, service areas, landscaping, and the rehabilitation and restoration of the
Interiors. These plans will also include making the building a state-of-the-art
Performance and education center, with it becoming multi-media and broadcast

Capable. As plans and specifications are finalized, they will undergo a final review
And approval process by the same agencies listed above.
Old Elitch Theater Renovation The rehabilitation of Elitch Gardens Theater is a
Challenging and complex task, given the age and condition of the structure.
The Center has assembled a specialized team to assist with the project. OZ
Architecture will be designing, assisted by JVA Engineering. Anthony Associates
(Wood specialists), Palace Construction and Diane Wray (historic preservation
consultant). All are respected  professionals in the field of historic rehabilitation.
David L. Adams Associates is a nationally respected consulting firm that will
Assist with the specialized elements of theatrical design and construction. HGV
Land will continue to be closely involved, with principals Chuck Perry and
Jonathan Rose assisting in the supervision of the rehabilitation. Both men have a
National reputation in historic development projects, including the Denver Dry
Goods Building at 16th and California in downtown Denver. To date, we have
Received funding from The City and County of Denver and DURA; the Colorado
State Historical Fund; Save America’s Treasures grant program; Boettcher
Foundation; Shotcrete Technologies; and many individual and corporate donors.
Denver Planning and Community Development will monitor the project along with
The Denver Landmarks  Preservation Commission, who will insure that the project
Meets the Secretary’s Standards for Historic Preservation.

CENTER FOR AMERICAN THEATRE
AT HISTORIC ELITCH GARDENS
Reported Activity:
Throughout the years there have been reports of paranormal activity from
Everyone from staff to the actors at the theatre.

Mary is said to watch over the location and still wander the balcony and her old
Private box wearing a full-length gown and a feather boa.

On one occasion, Shelly Winters was on stage during a rehearsal and she said,
“Who is the bitch in the boa?” and there was nobody in the location.


One of the most recent reports of activity is from Betty Lynne Hull.
“One afternoon, in my role as the Park archivist/historian. I was working alone in
the theater, removing the historic photos from the walls of the dress circle. Each
time I had an armful, I carried then down the left aisle to the stage, where I
placed them in boxes to later be transferred in to the Parks newly formed
archives collection. I remember that I was thinking about nothing in particular,
when suddenly it was though I had run into a very solid, soft, warm wall. I couldn’t
move forward? It was almost as though someone were hugging me. Then after a
moment or two, it was gone, nonplussed, I proceeded to the stage with my load.
The amazing thing was that I felt no fear. I wasn’t until later that I learned my
Encounter had taken place below Mary Elitch’s theater box>”

The investigation:

Present at the location:
Bryan Bonner
Richard Estep
Ginger
Mark Manning
Greg Robinson
J.A. Danalek (Local paranormal author)



Present at the location but only for the
Initial setup:
Tim Idens (With the production team)
David Liban (Documentary Producer)

Several Students
Working with the production
Were present as well.

Setup begins 19:45
Base of operations set up on
Main stage facing audience.




Prior to the evening locations
Were selected to be
Monitoring areas.

The locations were the Main stage area. Mary’s private box, Left, Right & Middle
Balcony, as well as seats 1 & 2 Row F. The seats have been rumored to be
Reserved by Mary as well.

Due to the locations condition it was determined that there were a few areas that
We could not access safely.
Walk-around. Check base EMF levels.
Levels in Mary Elitch’s box (to our left.
Ground floor) significantly elevated in
Relation to the box on the opposite side of
The stage. The readings are elevated to a
Greater extent as we close in on the wall-
Checked for power cables etc but found
Nothing to account for the elevation. At
One point, Richard was watching the EMF
Meter and the reading jumped from 4 to
30 milligauss, with no reasonable
explanation.

Greg senses an unusual energy in the theater director’s box (balcony center).
Richard detected elevated EMF readings in the crawlspace above the box (attic).
Greg states that somebody “fell to their death” from there. David (documentary
Director) tells us that he found in his research that somebody did fall to their
Death when the Elitch theme park was located around here, but to our knowledge
Nobody fell to their death inside the theater.
We detect unusually high
(15-20 milligauss) readings
In a small room on the right
Side of the theater. Greg
Claims that it is a “power
Node”, basically a psychic
Landfill that has been used
By a practitioner of the spiritual arts (neither while
Nor black) who has been
Practicing rituals inside the theater in the past.
He claims that Mary Elitch is
The instigator of this activity, and had an interest in the
Mystical arts/witchcraft (but was not an “evil” witch). The room in question (he
Says) is a protected zone where a mystic would dump their excess energies. I
Checked the exterior (outside) face of the wall and found that the EMF readings
(magnetic energy) were elevated approximately half as much as the
interior – no power sources were
found inside or out to account for the magneticelevations.

We next went backstage to the set
Dressing area,  where Greg said he
Had felt something like a “presence”
In one of the enclosed rooms. He
Said that the room” was utilized as a
“tool room” for psychic purposes,
where occult artifacts would be stored.

Richard detected high background EMF readings inside the tool room and also in
One spot backstage, which disappeared completely five minutes later when he
Checked again. No equipment had been moved or switched off that might
Account for this sudden reading loss.

On a side note: While taking the initial EMF readings we all noticed that in the
Main theatre area we had a family of bats helping with the investigation.

EMF readings were taken at ½ hour intervals between 23:30 and 04:30 in each
Of the predetermined locations.
Temperatures were measured on the
Stage and in Mary’s private box.


 

The temperature throughout the evening was an
Average of 80 Degrees on the stage
And 77 Degrees in Mary’s box.

No unusual changes in temperature were noted.

11:52
While taking readings Mark Noticed that the EMF in middle of  balcony jumped to
3 milligauss from .5 and stayed that way for about 1 minute then for no apparent
reason the reading dropped back to .5 milligauss

11:55
EMF in front of projector booth pulsing to 3mg intermittently

11:55
A cat from across the street started making noise

12:50
Jeff was in seat 13 near Mary’s box and the EMF meter that was steady at .6mg
Went to 3.5 and remained that way for approximately 7 minutes

24:00 on recording sound from balcony

2:40
smoke alarm went off in the pump room

While taking EMF readings the readings both
In front of  Mary’s seats and private box varied
From 1.5 – 3.5 milligauss






2:50
Bryan, Ginger and Richard all heard the
Sound of a little girl singing, possibly a woman.

02:40
Fire alarm goes off, no idea why
02:58
A woman’s voice singing a lullaby heard but
We cannot trace the exact location
4:00
the team started to break down the
equipment and complete the on site investigation.

4:15
While removing equipment from the location Bryan hears “Banging”  coming from
The exterior North stairs leading to the balcony. The location was searched and no
Explanation.

Conclusion:
Throughout the evening there were many unexplained phenomena.
At multiple locations we recorded unusual changes in Electro Magnetic readings.
Sounds of voices and strange thumps were witnesses by multiple people.
A person who is “sensitive” reported unusual activity.




A follow up visit would be helpful to record the specific areas for a longer period of time
Now that we have determined unusual phenomena in them.
