The Sterling Opera House in Derby, Connecticut, is one of New England’s most haunted and historically complex buildings. Opened in 1889 as a grand cultural landmark, it hosted performers like Harry Houdini, John Philip Sousa, and Amelia Earhart. Also, it hid a whole police station and jail directly beneath the stage. While audiences applauded upstairs, criminals sat locked in the cells below.In this episode, we explore the opera house’s dramatic past, its ties to the Titanic, its rumored Houdini escape stunt, and the decades it sat abandoned. Then we dive into the paranormal activity that has made the Sterling a hotspot for investigators: voices in the basement, unexplained scratches, the balcony spirit known as “Andy,” and sightings of the White Lady.A deep look at Connecticut history, true crime, and one of the state’s most active haunted locations. hauntedamericanhistory.comPatreon- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/hauntedamericanhistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LINKS FOR MY DEBUT NOVEL, THE FORGOTTEN BOROUGHBarnes and Noble -   https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-forgotten-borough-christopher-feinstein/1148274794?ean=9798319693334AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FQPQD68SEbookGOOGLE: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=S5WCEQAAQBAJ&pli=1KOBO: https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the-forgotten-borough-2?sId=a10cf8af-5fbd-475e-97c4-76966ec87994&ssId=DX3jihH_5_2bUeP1xoje_SMASHWORD: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/1853316 !!
