I personally have connections to the Colonial Movie Theater, the employee's that worked there, and the man who may roam the area.  I've seen movies fall off of shelves.  One time I witnessed a door open and close with no one there.  One employee saw something/someone (a ghost) in one of the movie screen room and ever since couldn't  be alone during closing time.  George who may be one roaming the area I knew, he would eat a local resturant every day.  Beleive in ghosts or not there is truly some paranormal activity Downtown Laconia, NH.

Unfortunatley, the Colonial is not haunted. They had a paranormal group go into the theater for fun and it found nothing. I managed the theater for years and it is a happy space. 

The contents of the Theater have not been sold off and it could easily be restored to its original glory.  Lawrence made sure all of the beautiful artwork was protected when they turned it into multiple theaters. I really think people need to understand that the City of Laconia is trying to get their hands on the property and have scared off any potentional buyers in their attempts to close it off to the public.

The person you are referring to is George Morin. He loved the theater and dedicated his entire life to working there. One of his favorite movies was Turner and Hooch.  I have many fond memories of him and he is greatly missed.
