History & local legend
The Rex Theater on East Carson Street in Pittsburgh opened as a vaudeville theater in 1905 and later became a music venue. Steel Town Paranormal investigated it on July 29, 2010. Four team members—Melanie, Dave, Susan and Savannah—were onstage when they heard a sound like someone walking nearby.
On playback, the recorded noise sounded more like shuffling or popcorn kernels being shaken. A production technician who listened said he did not recognize it as theater equipment. The investigators later heard a similar sound overhead, although that second occurrence was not recorded. During the same visit, Susan felt something touch her arm. When she asked it to touch another person, Dave reported feeling a touch next.
