Built in 1892, The Depot is one of the Twin Port’s oldest buildings and one of the most haunted. It was a very active train station with hundreds of people that would pass through, but some still haven’t left…

During the month of October, The Depot hosts haunted tours. Hailey Eidenschink the Cultural Coordinator hosts those tours. She says, “I believe that if buildings can be haunted, if ghosts are real, they’re here.”

There’s about four main entities that roam the halls, with the theater being one of the most haunted spot of them all.

“We have motion sensor detection, like cameras in the building and there’s one seat in the theater that once, twice a week will get triggered when nobody’s in here,” says Hailey. She’s referring to seat 20 which is the one that has the most activity but no explanation. However, there is another ghost that’s seen in the theater too.

A shadowy figure has been seen but Depot staff, ballet dancers, and actors, they all describe him as the Tall Man.

“The Tall Man is an entity that gets spotted, particularly in our theater spaces,” says Hailey, “That’s exactly what it sounds like. He’s a really tall shadow figure kind of guy.”

To make things even more scary, paranormal investigators say that the Tall Man is an intelligent haunt.

The little girl ghost seen in the Great Hall is also an intelligent haunt. Staff has seen her everywhere in The Depot, but she was captured on camera in the Great Hall during a wedding.

“There was a wedding that took place in the Great Hall and they were taking photos like you do at a wedding, and they get the photos sent in and there’s something in the photo,” says Hailey.

There were no kids at the wedding and when they zoomed in on the girl in the photo and raised the exposure, her eyes reflected back at the flash. Something that paranormal researchers say wouldn’t happen to normal human eyes.

Hailey says, “They told me that and I went cool. What do you want me to do with that? I have to work here now every day.”
