LOCATION
Why is KiMo Theater said to be haunted?
Albuquerque's KiMo Theatre opened in 1927 in a lavish Pueblo Deco style blending Art Deco lines with Puebloan and Navajo motifs, and it carries one of New Mexico's best-documented theater ghost stories. On September 5, 1951, a boiler in the lobby exploded and killed six-year-old Bobby Darnall, who had been playing near the concession stand. Staff in the decades since have reported cold spots by the spot where the boiler stood, props and equipment moving on their own, and a small presence blamed whenever something backstage goes mysteriously wrong. For years theater workers left doughnuts and candy in a small shrine near the lobby to keep "Bobby" appeased β a tradition current management still occasionally honors. "We don't take chances with Bobby," one longtime staffer told a local reporter. Restored and reopened in 2000 after years of decline, the KiMo remains a working theater and a fixture on Albuquerque ghost tours.
