O.R.B.S. is the Ohio Researchers of Banded Spirits, and they are at the the Mid-Ohio Valley Players tonight to find out if the haunted tales are true or not.

O.R.B.S uses technology along with a group of mediums for their investigations.

O.R.B.S was started in 2007 and since then they have had dozens of haunted places in Ohio to search.

Christopher Page, Founder of O.R.B.S. explains why the team is investigating the theatre, "There are stories that the original owner of the building is still here. There are reports of a phantom audience that sit here and watch the stage. There has been five deaths apparently in the theatre so there have been different stories that. We kind of want to see if we can capture those stories or maybe get some new ones for the theatre."

We will have an update on this story when the investigators get back to us with their findings.

It would be great if WTAP would put a follow-up on this article for those of us who weren't able to catch the 11 p.m. news.
