Seeing everything in action was beyond fascinating. Print is definitely not dead!

On September 24, 1927, local dignitaries, citizens, and Hollywood stars attended the grand opening of the Alhambra Theatre in Sacramento with the film “The Fighting Eagle.” The theater was designed in the Spanish Moorish style by the Starks and Flaunders firm, who also designed the Elks Building and C.K. McClatchy High School in Sacramento, California. The beloved Alhambra Theatre at 31st (now Alhambra Boulevard) and K Streets was demolished in 1973 to make room for a Safeway grocery store.

While the theater was razed because a city bond measure was not approved in order to secure its purchase, the removal of the Alhambra Theatre has left a lasting impact on Sacramento and has helped spark historic preservation movements ever since its demolition.

Some deaths are tragic. Some are mysterious. And some are just... strange.

This October, the “ghosts” of early Sacramento come to life to tell their stories once again for our annual Ghost Tours! Join us for an eerie evening of baffling, unusual, and bizarre deaths that really happened in Sacramento’s past. You may come away with a few chills, a few laughs, and a whole new appreciation for just how strange life—and death—can be.

Tours run Fridays and Saturdays October 16, 17, 23, 24, and 30. Tickets are $35 and recommended for ages 8 and up. Don’t make a grave mistake by waiting until it’s too late!

There’s a chill in the air as Old Sacramento Paranormal Investigations ventures beyond Old Sacramento for exclusive access inside the Sierra Sacramento Valley Museum of Medical History—a fascinating and eerie collection of medical artifacts and stories from snake oil to iron lungs.

Paranormal activity may appear on Thursdays, October 15, 22, & 29 at 7:00 p.m. Explore the strange, unsettling, and unexpected history of medicine alongside our experienced guides. Use paranormal equipment to search the museum for signs of unexplained activity and decide for yourself if spirits of the past still linger in the present.

With only three nights available, tickets are expected to sell out—so don’t wait until the spirits disappear!
