A CAPE FEAR UNEARTHED HALLOWEEN, EP. 5 

With so much blood, sweat and tears going into the life and performances of a theater, it’s no wonder they are considered to be among the most haunted places.

Wilmington’s legendary Thalian Hall is no exception. Dating to 1858, Thalian Hall has its fair share of ghosts stories buried in its history.

Do actors haunt the balcony? Did a spirit help out an actress in need of a hand? Did ghosts do their part in securing funds for a historic renovation?

Learn about the stories of Thalian Hall in the final episode of our special Halloween miniseries.

Cape Fear Unearthed is written, edited and hosted by Hunter Ingram. Additional editing by Adam Fish.

The show is sponsored by Northchase Family Dentistry and Tidewater Heating & Air Conditioning.
