The route material describes the Embassy Theatre's lobby as the site of cold spots, flickering lights, and reports tied to a former manager who died in 1965. The Lincoln Bank Tower is described as haunted on nearly every floor, with the operator citing a recurring account of a hostile presence heard from an upper-floor window. The Bell Mansion, built in 1884 for a Civil War veteran and later a funeral home, is presented as having generated ghost reports since its 2020 conversion into an event space, including a paranormal investigation the operator describes on the tour. The Masonic Temple is framed as home to a shadow figure reportedly captured by paranormal investigators on its staircase.
All of this is the tour operator's own marketing and narrative material, not documented history independently verified for this listing; it is included here as a description of what the tour covers, not as an endorsement of any specific claim.
