Haunted Theaters: The Southern Stage
Episode 1 –
Step inside the grand theaters of the South… if you dare.
In this haunted history special, Bridgett Denise takes you into Charleston’s Dock Street Theatre, New Orleans’ Saenger Theatre, and Chattanooga’s Tivoli Theatre — three historic stages where the velvet curtains and golden chandeliers hide centuries of tragedy, scandal, and restless spirits.
From the fiery ghost of Nettie Dickerson in Charleston, to phantom piano music in New Orleans, to the usher who never left his post in Chattanooga, these theaters prove that sometimes the performance never ends. With chilling eyewitness testimonies, eerie folklore, and Southern Gothic history, this episode blurs the line between legend and reality.
For spooky season, Vivid Nightmares brings you double the chills: Haunted History Thursdays + True Crime Fridays.
So, take your seat, the lights are dimming… and remember not every seat in the house is truly empty.
