The Vogue Theatre

The Vogue Theatre is located on Hollywood Bl. just east of Highland Ave. in the center of Historic Hollywood.  At the end of the 19th Century the street was known as Prospect Ave.  It was built on the property that used to house the Prospect Elementary School and at another time in history, an old textile factory, both of which burned down.  It was/is purportedly the most actively haunted property in Hollywood, if not Los Angeles.  In 1901 when the elementary school burned down, the schoolteacher, Miss Elizabeth, and 25 children were still inside and they were all killed as a result of the fire.  The Vogue Theatre was opened in July of 1936 and closed as a theatre in 1995.  It was rented by the ISPR (International Society for Paranormal Research) in 1997 and used as a venue for psychic performances, investigations and as a research site for 4 years.  During this time is was also used as a location for various films but closed in 2001.  It is said that the 4 year study conducted by the ISPR was the longest running study of it's kind in the world and they claimed to have cleared the property of seven resident ghosts.  The property is now used as a supper club.
