Royalty Theater
The Royalty Theater was once an old vaudevillian movie house and since 1921, it has been plagued by paranormal activity. The theater’s apparition is nicknamed Captain. He is said to be a bearded, blue-eyed man in a blue coat and hat. Footsteps are heard moving across the stage when no one is present. On one stage wall, there is an image of a knife that simply will not go away–it has been covered by twenty coats of paint! Users of the theater do maintain, however, hat Captain is actually very friendly and does not harm anyone.
Hi my name is Jeremy and I was just wondering where this place is located in clearwater and if they would let me and some of my freinds in with camras. we have some footage of parinormal activities on video in safetyharbor of the island house said to be hauntedand of a torn down insaine asilem where many have died from a fire in Tarpon,but would like to get more footage of all diferent places.I have a huge fascination with parinormal activities and haunted places and i like to see ,hear and feel the activity of spirits that haunt the grounds for my self, i think is really awsome. well if they do let us in with camras and we get any weird but good footage ill send you some pictures.please write back with any info thanks.

If you would read the posting rules, you would see that it asks for correct grammar, etc. Some of you need to forget the ghost hunting and return back to school.

I am a model (dont beleive me? http://www.mayasmodels.com, im on the homepage, the model they sent to Paris) and our main building is right down the street from the Royalty… Ive been all over that theatre, due to fashion shows we’ve held there… I’m ‘paranormally sensitive’ supposedly, and I have indeed felt strong presesnses on the stage, and upstairs, what used to be dressing rooms…
It is an amazingly beautiful place, and yes, it is now owned by a church…

I´ve been as I always have been,
Like the sun, always rising, always setting.
New sparks in my brain, old ones too;
I´m the eternal,
I´m the never new and the always new.
Comment by Diego Florida | 10.30.2006 | 3:13 pm
The captain. Rocking your spirituality.
Paranormalize. Will it ever be normal?
ask the captain. He will know.
footsteps have been heard.
Comment by aardvark | 10.30.2006 | 3:16 pm
Wow, there are some interesting people on here, the only one that kind of freaks me out is Sandy. Just curious as to why she would be reading things on this site if she is such a devout Christian. Hmmmm strange. Anyways I just moved here to Florida, and I”m interested in paranormal things. It’s fun to get a little scared from time to time. Just wondering, will they let you stay over night, or atleast when the place is closed up can you check it out?
Comment by AngelicDeception | 11.1.2006 | 8:41 pm
I used to live in Florida and i went into the Royalty thearter and it freaked me out.

Comment by jake | 06.27.2007 | 3:04 am
I live down in the oldsmar / clearwater area, I think I will check it out. I’ve been down St.Pete to Fort Desoto before at night and have heard all kinds of strange noises before coming from the Fort there.
Gives me the HeeGeeBeeGees just thinking about it.
Comment by Chris Angulo | 07.2.2007 | 1:18 pm
I live near Clearwater and would Love to find and visit places which are active with spiritual and supernatural activity. If anyone knows of some haunted places to visit in Pinellas county I would like to know of them. Just moved here 3 months ago and have not had much time to explore yet. I am a clairvoyant medium and enjoy checking out haunted places.
Comment by Neika | 08.25.2007 | 12:42 am
I love ghost stories! They interest me. I’ve been wanting to stay a night in one of those haunted houses,but im gona have to wait,because im only 16. Im really into paranormal things. I have been for years. And im trying to do research on where they are and what happened to them, and if they will let people to stay the night in one of them.
Comment by Kim | 09.3.2007 | 4:58 pm
Anyone interested in meeting there the weekend before halloween?
Comment by Veronica | 09.21.2007 | 7:36 pm
I live about a block away and I’ve never seen that place- but I also have never paid attention. Anyways, is it the Church of Scientology that owns the building? I’d like to go and check it out for the Halloween season. I just want SOMETHING to scare me. All the haunted houses with actors/actresses are lame. If anyone is going, let me know and I’ll come too. lol. Hopefully they’ll let people check it out, but probably not. My email is Jhanna05@baker.edu
Comment by Jessica | 09.30.2007 | 1:28 pm
just reading all the comments, makes me wonder , why people are so fascinated about ghosts, does this means confirmation of after life to some? and why so many restless ghosts around end of the months?
Comment by lily | 10.6.2007 | 10:41 pm
just reading some of the comments, I wonder, why people so fascinated about ghosts, does it means confirmation of after life? how about reincarnation?
would you rather be a ghosts than reincarnate?
Comment by lily | 10.6.2007 | 10:46 pm
To the first poster(Jeremy) that said he visited the site of the old insane asylum in safety harbor florida. I have been looking for the past hour trying to find an address or a general vicinity to go visit this place. Would you be so kind as to provide this information. If anyone else has information on this place please send me and email..
Thanks!!

Here is a site about the Royalty Theater if any of you are interested…Im sure alot of you all are it seems.enjoy it, I found it interesting…Enjoy!
Comment by Jessica | 10.8.2007 | 9:34 pm
I was born in Clearwater. Most of my family live in the area.I guess I didn’t pay much attention because I had never heard of this haunting. From all I’ve read or heard about ghost’s and hauntings, most are left over energy of a horrible death of some sort. It won’t explain them all tho. Also,from the little research I’ve done, a real ghost can not touch or harm the living. They simply do not reconize the fact that they are dead. To them people are in thier area/home. Therefore they don’t scare me. I will try to check it out tho, just for fun. Please forgive miss-spellings and such. I’m old and do not write much.
Comment by Patricia Youngblood | 10.26.2007 | 9:53 am
There is no doubt that the spirits can do harm if you don’t know what you are doing. They can’t kill you but they sure can hurt you. I don’t believe in ghosts from people deciding to stick around after they have died. The houses or places that are haunted are demons pretending to be people. I would love to go into one of these houses or places and dare the demons there to mess with me.
Comment by Bruce | 11.17.2007 | 11:09 pm
I own a “Writing Table.” This is how it works. Two or more people get together, ask the table questions, and it ‘writes’ back to you. Anyone in the Clearwater, Florida area want to give it a try? You can contact me through my web site at: http://ridersconnect.com/profile.php?sub_section=home&id=375
Maybe we can submit some footage to the Travel Channel and get on their television show the “Most Huanted!” Wouldn’t that be awesome!
Comment by Lassie | 12.1.2007 | 1:08 pm
I have a writing table that communicates directly with the spirits. Anyone want to give it a try? I can be reached on my web page: http://ridersconnect.com/profile.php?sub_section=home&id=375
Maybe we can film this for the Travel Channel and get on television! Wouldn’t that be awesome!

Last time I heard, The Majestic was closed down again due to lack of business. I’ve never been inside there, but live about 15 mins away from it. Most people in this area are full of **** and like to lie about these things. I am a “spiritually sensitive” individual that is able to detect the presence and feelings and spirits lurking in an area. On some occassions in the past I have been able to communicate with them (depending on if they are willing to cooperate).
If this deal about a haunted theatre in downtown clearwater is true, I’d really like to hear something legitamite that doesn’t make me wonder if someone’s lying. Also, if anyone here would like my assistance or company on a legitimate haunt investigation, please feel free to e-mail me.

The old insane hospital was torn down years ago. I never witnessed anything unusual there but it did have ties to Al Capone.

I was wondering if a couple of people would like to get together and film possibly for the Travel Channel. I am a graduate of their Academy. I can be contacted at: Titanicbuff4ever@yahoo.com. Make reference to this web site. Thanks. LR

I am looking to get a couple of people together and go to either the Biltmore or the Theatre and film for the Travel Channel. I have an home made instrument which communicates directly with the spirits. Ask a question and they respond. I want to film this for the Travel Channel. I am a graduate from their Academy.

Anyone that encounters paranormal events please dont take it lightly! There are many diferernt types of spirits, all of which are dangerous. Human spirits tend to do more psycological damages, while the demonic will physicaly try to destroy anyone around them. Only through Christ may they be Banished. They are 100% real, and can be anywhere. All negative spirits grow stronger through fear, so if you encounter one, as terrified as you may be, try not to show it! Contact someone who can help immediately! (ie. Priest, Demonologist, etc.
Comment by Jason | 03.21.2008 | 9:04 pm
You can enjoy an investigation of the Royalty Theatre, along side of Tru TV’s Haunting Evidence star, Patrick Burns and Paranormal States (on A&E), CJ Sellers. The event package can be obtained from http://tapscon.com/gold.html.
Also, check out our convention being held at the beautiful Belleview Biltmore Resort Hotel & Spa, July 19-20, 2008!
Comment by TAPS Brent | 04.2.2008 | 10:27 am
I believe, if this is the place I’m thinking about,it was called the Ritz in the 70’s and it showed XXXXX
rated movies. I was in High School and heard about guys I knew trying to get in and that they really didn’t check I.D.’s. Of course we could get alcohol at the local bowling alleys and some bars too back then in the good old days…ha ha.I never heard anything about ghosts but I was scared of my own shadow back then…can’t for the life of me figure out why…
Comment by Not Sure | 04.12.2008 | 8:50 pm
Not sure if anybody looks into the Royalty Theatre anymore for paranormal reasons. I do have to say that my band played there a couple years ago, and the building itself is absolutely beautiful! and the owner Socrates is one of the coolest crazy old greek guys in the world. Being an avid paranormal enthusiast I had to get as many photos as I could in. I’d seen some photos of appartions that had appeared in the seating area and one of the upper balcony. Looking for something like that I snapped nearly 30 odd photos, the only thing that turned out was a swirling ectroplasmic mist heading down into the basement? (i guess it’s a basement). It appeared to be the same consistency as smoke but had an extremely distinct swirling appearance to it, and looked as if it was spreading out from down below. The lights were completely bright and there was absolutely no smoke anywhere to be seen. Not sure what to make of it, but it’s definately an amazing building for sure. Socrates equates any unexplained activity that occurs there to be god or angels making themselves known in some way. who knows? maybe he’s right.
