Do you believe in ghosts? People who work at the Tarrytown Music Hall, along with paranormal investigators, say it's haunted.

When News 12 asked paranormal investigator Bianca Pierre-Louis if the venue was haunted, she answered, "Yes. Ten toes down, yes."

Pierre-Louis says she has some evidence to back that up.

"I will always debunk first before I just jump into it's anything paranormal. I think that brings the authenticity to the investigation as well," Pierre-Louis told News 12.

However, she says she caught something on camera earlier this year at the music hall.

"You hear like the creaking of the seats sitting down. You see me turn my head because I'm like, 'Who is that?' I know it's just me. No one was there, but in the video, you clearly see a shadow figure, clear as day, just sitting watching me the whole time," Pierre-Louis explained.

She told News 12 that she had other experiences too. If you ask around the music hall, she isn't the only one who has seen or heard something.

"I've worked here about three and a half years. I've heard all kinds of stories. I never experienced anything myself until Bianca was here doing her investigation. I came in to check on her here up in the balcony. She had been in the theater a couple hours investigating," said Amissa Rybak, who works at Tarrytown Music Hall. "Bianca said, 'I was just knocking on the walls because sometimes the spirits will knock back.' I was just doing some knocking to see if I get an answer and exactly at that moment, we heard two distinct knocks in response. We were the only two people in the theater."

"There's been people who've reported a strange chill or noticed a peculiar sound," said Hudson Valley storyteller Jonathan Kruk.

Kruk is involved with ghost tours at the music hall. He knows a lot about the history. Even though he hears a lot of stories, it doesn't mean he is a firm believer.

"I'm still not a firm believer. I still can't fathom how some kind of thing can exist without a physical form. I do feel, however, that all of us emit kind of like a residual energy that can be detected. I think that's what people most experience in the music hall," said Kruk.

Regardless of whether you believe or not, you can learn more about upcoming ghost tours and the history of the music hall HERE.
