This theatre is haunted! The theatre offers free tours weekdays until 5:00, so I decided to go in. First off, it's one of if not the most beautiful theatre i've ever been in. But after I took my first picture I knew this place was haunted. Almost all of my pictures have orbs. At onepoint I had to press the power button on my camera 6 times just for it to turn on! Most of the pictures turned out dark, blurry, and had orbs! I'm using a 14 megapixel camera. Meanwhile my friend, who's using a 5 megapixel Iphone, is taking great shots! I have honestly never felt so creeped out before, and i've been to MANY haunted places. I highly recommend visiting this beautiful theatre if you're in town, and be sure to bring your digital recorder to catch some EVP'S!

This landmark building opened its doors on June 6, 1930, with a celebration attended by more than two thousand guests. Entrepreneur H.O. Wooten envisioned a hotel with accommodations matching those available in New York City, accomplishing the goal with the seventeen-story, 200-room Hotel Wooten. Designed by Abilene architect David S. Castle, it was the tallest building between Fort Worth and El Paso at the time of its completion. The building is of structural steel and clay tile construction, with a buff brick exterior and detailing in cast stone, marble and granite. The building remains one of the most notable examples of Art Deco style architecture in Abilene.
