Mainstage Auditorium, Salem State

Massachusetts · USA · School

A boy got into the space above the auditorium ceiling one night in the 1960s and fell through. A professor found him in the seats the next morning.

The Mainstage auditorium at Salem State in Massachusetts has a presence that theatre staff and students both call Tommy, and the account behind him is specific.

In the 1960s a child got into the space above the auditorium ceiling at night. He fell through a weak point in it and was found dead in the seats the following morning by a professor arriving for work.

The void above the ceiling has long since been sealed and is used for storage. That is where he is said to remain, and most of what is attributed to him comes from overhead: noises, objects moved, and technical faults that nobody can trace.

He is described as mischievous rather than frightening, and the theatre department treats him as part of the building. In a town whose entire tourist economy runs on the supernatural, it is worth noting that this is a college auditorium rather than an attraction, that the story is told by faculty rather than sold to visitors, and that it concerns a child who died on the premises.
