AMC Hampton Theatres
Three theatres were built in 1971, and in 1979 a fourth one was added. During the process of building, a worker was killed. Soon after construction was completed, many strange happenings were witnessed on the premises. Seats in the front row have rocked on their own, garbage cans rolled up the aisle, cans knocked over by themselves, lights flicker on their own, toilets have randomly flushed, and many others. These strange events have been witnessed by numerous patrons and employees. Over time, the employees nicknamed the ghost “Johnny”. The theatres closed on January 17, 1999 due to a lease expiration. In March of 1999, a group of former employees visited theatre four, said, “Hi.” to Johnny, and the lights mysteriously turned on.

The building has been torn down for some years now; Bed Bath & Beyond now stands in its place.

If we’re talking about the Hampton Theatre that was off Rochester Rd. in Rochester Hills, I’ve been there tons of times…
Not to contradict anything said above, but I never expirienced anything unusual there.
PS: This is what is known as that “correct grammer, capitalization and punctuation”. Some people don’t seem to know the difference btwn this and “yh i knw about that also there waz that film wen first Exorcist sum fing about the film waz cursed and many ppl died watching it n wen ma sis waz…” and so on.

Carol,
What do you mean by ‘unfortunately’? Would a hatchet in your skull have been nice?

I worked at the theatres for along time later 80’s – 1996. There were certainly strang occurances. Lights going on and off by themselves. Faces in the projection booth when no one was around. ‘Johnny’ had his own seat up front in theatre #4 with a different colored base, it would occasionally rock on it’s own. One time, cleaning crew told us about gathering up dropped coins in the theatre, and dropping it all at the top of the aisle, then walking down front, hearing the whoosing of wind and upon checking the coins, they were all face up in a straight line.
