SHELBY, N.C.
Whether you believe in ghosts or not, keep reading. The ghosts in Shelby want you to know what they have to share.

This is a story of days gone by in the City of Pleasant Living. It’s a story of dreams, life, death and hope for a future of pleasant living once again.

The story begins in the Rogers Theatre, a now decaying testament to a time when Shelby residents dreamed big dreams. It was the last of four theaters in uptown when it opened in 1936. With its vaudeville stage that attracted the biggest of stars and its 1,000 seats, the Rogers’ future was bright.

“Lon Chaney Jr. and the Three Stooges played there,” said Mayor Ted Alexander.
