Midland Cinemas
Many years ago, before the theater was built on this site, the land was used for farming. Supposedly, six people died on this farm for unknown reasons. The employees of the theater have reported paranormal activity throughout the building. Such activity includes toilets flushing on their own, strange noises, figures appearing in the theater seats after-hours, and the sighting of a tall man with a beard, wearing overalls.
I’ve actually used to live in midland. I’ve been in this theater about 25 times maybe more. I justed moved away from the area four months ago, I had been living there since 1996. When you go to a late movie you do feel somewhat of a presence but not a big one. If there is a ghost it would most likely be in the older thearter’s. They just built new ones about 5 or 6 years ago maybe longer.

I was born and raised in Midland and I remember when the area where the theatre came to be located was merely an open lot. I spent some time in my youth out there doing ‘youthful things’ and there was a bit of an eerie feel to the place. Especially, in more recent times, emanating from the woods behind it. Check it out if you go there.

wow this is real cheesy , if there are any reports of strange noises or toilets being flushed i will be happy to start to investigate the paranormal activity.
Comment by ryan | 10.8.2005 | 10:38 pm
I have lived in Midland my entire life, and go to the Cinemas frequently. I never have felt anything odd, other than the A/C being on a little too much (but that’s always been a problem).

Comment by alaina | 02.19.2006 | 12:35 am
i’ve lived in midland for 12 years and have even seen midnight movies alone with no one else in the theater. midland cinemas is NOT haunted. this is absolutely ridiculous. the man with the comment about doing “youthful” things in that area before the cinemas was built was obviously trippin on acid and that’s what made him feel eerie.
Comment by t | 02.27.2006 | 4:51 pm
yeah i’ve lived here my whole life and i have friends that work at there and nothing weird has ever happend so shut up
Comment by steph | 03.6.2006 | 9:33 pm
Well just the other day i went to the movies and i have been to that cinema a dozen times and i really don’t notice anything strange about it at all but sometimes when the seats are up and and then i look beside me and no one is sittin in that seat the is down but ya know the seats are about a year or two old so it don’t matter everything in Midland is the same and it won’t change.

I have lived in Midland all my life, and i go to the movie theater almost every week. I have never experienced any of the things listed in this site. I wish that you would investigate each case before posting it, because that articla is not true.
Comment by danielle | 05.20.2006 | 12:43 pm
But, Danielle, the articla is certainly true. Maybe we should investigate your case. We may find you don’t know how to spell.
Comment by Big Bill | 05.20.2006 | 5:39 pm
I live in Midland, have for 26 years. I have been to Midland Cinemas several times, but this is the first I’ve heard about hauntings. It doesn’t necessarily mean that others haven’t seen or heard things. Every place listed here is subject to the same situation; some people report occurances, while the general masses are totally unaware. Does it make those who do report less truthful? Unless you have indeed done a thorough investigation and can answer to the reports with evidence or proof against it, Beware of the mud you sling … you might be throwing it at the fan.
Comment by Waynesliljeanne | 06.11.2006 | 10:21 pm
I really don’t think anything of the reported hauntings, it could be some stupid person pulling a joke. I’ve heard about the Hauntings before, but please, ghosts and such only exist in movies and stories. I have lived in Midland almost my whole life, and i have never seen anything that looks like ‘ghost presence’ before. the only place that freaks me out is the Grave-yard. But come on, who isn’t a little creeped by there?

Comment by JENAH AND AUSTIN | 08.14.2006 | 5:08 pm
this is a completely bogus story. The employees like to tell it to new workers to scare them.
apparently there’s a ghost in the projector room too. yawn.
Comment by erik | 08.31.2006 | 4:45 pm

Comment by sweetie | 10.13.2006 | 6:21 pm
Ok, what I don’t understand is what you people are doing on this site if you don’t believe in ghosts. You must obviously be interested in them or believe some what or else what is the point of even coming to this site. Its kind of ridiculous if you think about it. No one apprecitates it when people like you come on here and make fun of what people believe. So go grow up and come back (if ever) when you decided to be mature about things. Oh, and get some manners while you are at it. Ok.
Comment by Kariann | 10.17.2006 | 11:49 pm
omg that is so true, i went there one time while my sister was working late and i went to the bathroom and the toilet flusheed no one was in the room i could have sworn i seen a man in a theatre room but hes only in theatre 5
Comment by marissa dice | 10.25.2006 | 1:36 pm
Well I have worked at the theater for about 9 yrs now….It’s defintely not haunted. I work nights. Most of the activity is caused by the unusual wiring and the automatic toilets and sinks. No one has ever even talked about it before to my knowledge.
Comment by X | 10.30.2006 | 2:58 pm
I go to the movies quite a lot and this whole ghost thing is BS the only haunted place in Midland is the Rosen Crown, I know this because my dad and his friend both work there and have seen this ghost.
Avoid the Rosen Crown at night the ghost died in a well at around 9:30 pm
Comment by kazeR | 11.4.2006 | 7:18 am
as a former employee from when the theater first opened, reports of hauntings were frequent, especially from the projectionists’ perspectives. figures were seen upstairs and sitting in the theaters after hours, and there were cold spots upstairs. perhaps this has eased up, but when it first opened about 15 years ago, this was the talk of the high school students.
Comment by former employee | 11.4.2006 | 3:10 pm
U think this **** is scary go to my friends house and u will see some scary **** his uncle died in the same basement we drink in

You guys are so immature… jeez… no one wants to hear your silly p-p and **** jokes! I can’t believe you would go on here and belittle yourselves so much. Is this really where you want to be when Jesus comes back?
Comment by George | 12.7.2006 | 7:33 pm
1. I beleve that ghosts are real and they have been around for a very long time. 2. I have lived in midland for some time now and have been to the theaters a lot in that time. It is haunted and very much so. You may not see it for your closed minded if you think its not real. I have been to a lot of really late night shows and every time there has been something not right going on. One time i went to a movie alone and during the movie I looked back to see 2 people sitting in the back row when i knew i was the only one in the theater at that time. It is really freaky how ghosts can get things done the way that they do. There are a lot of places that are haunted in midland and i know this i do ghost hunting its what i do sometimes. Let’s say this that place is haunted you just have to open your minde and close your mouth to see it. And Jesus who is this person that we are waiting for im sure The Goddess would like to know this to.
Comment by Dragonsfeather | 01.10.2007 | 12:59 pm
Honestly, there is nothing wrong with believing in ghosts/spirits since most people are unaware of what IS posing as these ghosts.
They too have a misinformation agenda to accomplish, much like our own government …

No, none of that’s true, you guys are just making this up to scare me.

This site is a friggin’ riot, I started reading for the ghosts and soon forgot what the point was. A whole sh*tload of people that can’t spell, People commenting that have never been to Midland, Fast food employees; All this site needs is a circus monkey and 3 prostitutes and it would have everything. Oh, did I say prostitute in relation to Midland? There are no prostitutes in Midland; Except the ones that haunt the bathroom stalls at the Midland Cinemas and keep flushing the toilets. Keep up the good work guys, Midland needs an injection of humor.
Comment by P whip | 03.31.2007 | 2:03 am
HAHAHAHAHA, holy ****, i went to the midland cinema and i was goin to a late balde of glory, and i went to the bathroom and after i was done i walked away and the toilet flushed, but then i realized it was the automatic flusher, and then i saw this guy with overals and a beard, it was abe lincoln on the penny, i was scared shitless, so then i ran out and saw rusle crow, i told him to get out of there cuz its haunted, and he just said hell no im goin to se my gladiator movie. so i fliped him off, and he punched me in my shin, right as i was about to leave my friend came running out and was like holy **** the toilet just flushed, and i was like get the **** out, he said i am ******* serious, and then i said screw u guys im goin home, and he said eat ****……………TRUE STORY

i work there and so does my girlfriend samantha. and there has been countless amounts of times of people hearing stalls opening and shutting. i have encounted this myself. and one day when i was cleaning theater 8 i saw a white figured man standing in the projection room, i figured it was nate the projectionist but i ran out and saw nate in a green shirt at the usher stands…no one else was up there.that was around 11:30pm..and one time it was raining heavily outside and my 2 managers were leaving and there were no other cars in the parking lot besides their cars, a bearded man was standing in the pooring down rain not moving just watching them. so they ran back inside and called the police and the guy wasnt to be seen. believe but you want but that place is fukn creepy as hell!!!!!!!
Comment by eric robb | 06.15.2007 | 4:33 am
I like that last guy’s post. I noticed a few posts where they noticed something 15 years ago. According to sources, ghost or paranormal activity is triggered during a renovation or remodeling, it irritates the spirits.
The Midland Cinemas have been remodeled a few times, therefor it depends on the people. Not ALL the time or EVERY NIGHT will there be sitings. So people who post and say, no I have never seen anything- does not prove anything.
Comment by Joe | 07.10.2007 | 12:21 am
I do not sure if I believe this because I have spent alot of time there andonlylive down the street from the cinemas. I’ve never experienced any peronormal event there>
Comment by Lauren | 10.11.2007 | 11:48 am
I lived in Midland roughly one mile away from the cinemas for about 3 years. I feel that I have an ability to sense spirits so to speak (I used to live in a haunted house growing up). Anyways that whole area around the cinemas has always given me the chills…day or night. I’ve never been to the cinemas alone but I have been to a few very late shows…around 1 or 2 in the morning. I was friends with someone who knew the guy who ran the film in the projection room. So sometimes after the theater closed he’d let a few people come and watch the new hit movie that was out. He also allowed us in the projection room at one time…he had some really cool old movie posters that he wanted us to see while he was finishing up his work. While in the projection room I felt like there was a presence watching me but than again it was late and the building was empty. Anyways visiting the theater does give me a sort of eerie feeling even though I’ve never actually witnessed anything. But just because I haven’t witnessed it or you haven’t witnessed it that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist. Contrary to ones belief you don’t have to see to believe.
Comment by J. F. | 10.19.2007 | 3:48 pm
Maybe the tall man with the beard is tired of people not flushing the toilet so he does it his self
Comment by Mc Nugget | 10.26.2007 | 12:30 pm
Yeah i’ve been to that theatre, it’s pretty cool, i didn’t see or hear anything but it was pretty cool being in a place that was like haunted lol
Comment by Gwen | 10.26.2007 | 5:25 pm
I had worked at the Midland Cinemas for almost 5 1/2 years and also did night cleaning and know for sure that this place is haunted. All the managers know and the Projectionists know for SURE, although they may not admit it. I have seen tools flying off the walls upstairs on there own, and everyone who worked there knows they are real. I dont care if anyone else believes, but just so you know, its real. My good friend was night cleaning one night and had what sounded like a women screaming from inside one of the projection rooms, yelling “GET ME OUT!!!!GET ME OUT HELP!!!” Bloody murder, and the door was being pounded from the inside. He said he could hear fingernails scratching, the whole thing. Knowing this door locked from the outside, he ran like hell out of the theatre and never returned to night clean again. These ghousts f*ck with the projectionists and night cleaners, so before you judge these hauntings…ask the people whove actually seen it!!
Comment by former employee | 10.28.2007 | 8:39 pm
i’ve been to this theater over 25 times and i have for sure experienced things that i cannot explain.i was in the bathroom and there wasn’t anyone in there with me at the time,and i was washing my hands.In the corner of my eye i thought i saw someone around the corner by the door and i amedientally ran to see what it was, but there was nothing there. The thing i saw in the corner of my eye seemed to be a tall figure about 5′7 maybe 5′6,i’m not sure like i said i only got a glance.But it sure was scary.since then i’ve never went to the bathroom there alone again.

I agree with Joe:
“I like that last guy’s post. I noticed a few posts where they noticed something 15 years ago. According to sources, ghost or paranormal activity is triggered during a renovation or remodeling, it irritates the spirits.
The Midland Cinemas have been remodeled a few times, therefor it depends on the people. Not ALL the time or EVERY NIGHT will there be sitings. So people who post and say, no I have never seen anything- does not prove anything.”
Isn’t when they are renovating it takes place, but once they are finished it goes away temporarily? And none the least, could it be the person themself? Some people can attract ghosts in ways. Some of us can move or break things for no reason either…I think it is somewhat natural. When I was pregnant with my daughter and working during a stressful episode in my life, things would fly right off the shelfs when I got angry. I never really put one and one together until later…
