Ah, the Iroquois Theater fire of 1903! A lovely little mishap that took over 600 lives, but hey, at least it gave Chicago some ghost stories to spice up its history! Who needs a peaceful theater-going experience when you can have a paranormal deep dive instead?

Now, the James M. Nederlander Theatre is apparently a hotspot for the afterlife—because nothing says "welcome back" like a haunting from the victims of a tragic fire. Maybe the spirits just want to critique the latest performances or are waiting for the right moment to steal the spotlight.

So, let’s gather 'round and ponder: are these ghosts really just lingering or are they simply the world’s most dedicated theater critics?
