If it was the former church or house on Alamo and E. Guenther. Yes!  |

The show described the theater as being a former church in the King William area. It was converted into a theater in the mid-70's. They described two ghosts. One was a woman who had been an actress in her younger years, even staring with Clark Gable. She moved to SA and died in the 80's. The other was a young red-haired boy that pulled pranks. He supposedly came to the theater after an old wheelchair was brought in as a prop. Supposedly, he was crippled and died of his illness.
They also visited the Hertzberg Circus Museum, the Institute of TX Cultures and interviewed Docia Williams.

Yes, I must have seen that some time back. Location is correct. Think they tore it down though. |

I searched the web and the church wasn't torn down. The name was changed from Alamo Theater to Church Bistro & Theatre. I found this info:
Alamo Theater - HauntedHouses.com
and
Ghost Stories
