Recap: The Ghost Brothers
The Ghost Brothers, Discovery Plus’s hilarious paranormal show, came back to celebrate the Tampa Theatre episode at Tampa Theatre!
As the audience was watching and learning about the historic movie palace’s haunted past, including the “Lady in White” and the famous Seat 308, folks began looking around to see if paranormal activity was happening as the show took place. What a way to heighten the experience!
Thank you to Visit Tampa Bay and Tampa Theatre for helping us to make this night happen! With over 1,000 reserved tickets before the show, this night was truly special for the Tampa community.
The Ghost Bros stayed after to meet and greet their fans and were extremely generous with their time. If you missed it, this episode of “The Ghost Bros: Lights Out” officially premiered Friday, Oct 28th on Discovery+.
