THE “F5” (FASCINATING FACTOID FOR FANATICAL FLORIDIANS) –
The Florida Theatre, Jacksonville
In celebration of October the F5 section will feature stories about the Sunshine State’s most haunted places/things. Enjoy!
In 2020, the historic Florida Theatre in Jacksonville replaced almost all of its 1,950 seats…except two. Balcony seats E1 and E2 were the only two preserved during the renovation and the reason makes perfect sense: they’re spoken for by ghosts.
The theater is long believed to be haunted and the two balcony seats have become a favorite attraction of paranormal enthusiasts. Inexplicable movements are said to have been witnessed in the balcony, leading to suspicion that the responsible party is an apparition of Joseph Hilton, an organist who worked there in the 1920s who later committed suicide.
Have you attended a show at this magnificent theater? If so, were you brave enough to park your keester in the balcony?
