Is Teatro Guayama haunted?
The record holds 1 claim — filed as reported, not verified. The heaviest filing is classed anecdotal. The archive documents the claim; it takes no position on the ghost.
The record — long form
The theater this file calls Teatro Guayama is provisionally identified with the municipal theater on Guayama's plaza — the former Teatro Calimano on Calle Derkes. Built in 1938 as the town's first thousand-seat cinema, it is a rare Puerto Rican specimen of full Art Deco, its fluted pilasters and marquee largely intact inside and out; after closing in the 1980s it was rehabilitated by the municipality in 1989 and renamed Guayama, and it sits on the National Register. Hurricanes Irma, María and Fiona dealt it serious damage, and a half-million-dollar rehabilitation began in 2024.
A claim without a witness
The haunting file is thinner than the building's paperwork. PuertoRico.com's urban-legends list attributes apparitions and poltergeist-type reports to the theater's staff — no named witness, no dated incident, no investigation supplied. The dossier logs it as anecdotal and keeps the research notes' caution: the theater's identity itself awaits confirmation of exact name and address.
What the record supports is the documented shell — Guayama's surviving Deco house, the 'Witch City's' own stage — holding a ghost story it has not yet been asked to prove.
