The Broker, operating as Lapeyre Steakhouse, occupies a historically significant building in Riverton, Wyoming, a town that developed as a commercial and service center in the Wind River Basin region of central Wyoming. The structure represents the architectural style and construction methods characteristic of early twentieth-century commercial establishments in Western towns, with brick construction and multiple floors designed to accommodate both retail and service operations on the ground level along with upper-story spaces serving various purposes. The building's prominence in Riverton's downtown district and its function as a restaurant and bar established it as a social gathering place and commercial hub within the community. The property's location and architectural features reflect the prosperity and development of the region during periods of economic activity driven by agriculture, ranching, and natural resource extraction. The building's history encompasses multiple uses and operators over its existence, reflecting the changing commercial landscape of Riverton and the broader Wyoming region. Its function as a steakhouse and restaurant positioned it as an entertainment and dining destination attracting patrons from both the local community and transient populations of travelers and business visitors. The bar facility and dining areas created social spaces where significant human interaction occurred, establishing the location as a focal point of community social life. The basement level, with its network of old tunnels, represents an architectural feature that may date to the building's earliest construction or reflect modifications made during its operational history. The presence of these underground passages suggests previous purposes or functions that may have included prohibition-era activities, storage, or other utilitarian uses typical of basement spaces in commercial structures of that era. Paranormal phenomena at The Broker Steakhouse manifest across multiple areas of the building, with distinct manifestations suggesting the presence of multiple spirits and entities. A melancholic female ghost is reported to appear in second-floor windows, with witnesses describing a lonely and sad presence associated with this apparition. A child entity manifests in the waiting room area, with supernatural activity including the movement of a stool without apparent physical cause. Running sounds are reported ascending and descending the stairs at times when no living persons are present on those floors, suggesting the continued movement of spirits through the building's vertical circulation spaces. The basement generates reports of an eerie presence, with witnesses describing a distinctive quality of paranormal energy concentrated in that underground space. Additional phenomena include the sounds of children playing tag echoing through the building when no children are actually present, and muffled screams heard emanating from the old tunnel system beneath the building, suggesting that traumatic events or suffering occurred within those subterranean spaces. The complex pattern of paranormal activity at The Broker Steakhouse indicates a building that has been site to multiple deaths, likely tragic or violent in nature, and that continues to be inhabited by the spiritual consciousness of those whose lives ended within its walls. The concentration of phenomena in specific locations such as the second-floor windows, the waiting room, and particularly the basement tunnels suggests that different spirits became attached to distinct areas of the building based on where death occurred or where significant emotional events unfolded. The presence of child spirits suggests that at least some of the tragic events resulted in the deaths of young individuals, possibly occurring in or connected to the basement tunnel system. The muffled screams from the tunnels imply suffering and violence, potentially pointing to historical incidents of murder, accident, or abuse that left traumatic imprints on the physical space. The ongoing manifestation of these paranormal phenomena has established The Broker as a recognized haunted location within Wyoming's paranormal landscape, attracting investigators and curiosity-seekers interested in documenting and understanding the complex haunting phenomena associated with this historically significant commercial structure.

The Acme Theatre in Riverton, Wyoming stands as a significant remnant of early twentieth-century American entertainment architecture and infrastructure, representing an era when specialized theatrical venues were constructed throughout the United States to host vaudeville performances, musical presentations, and subsequently motion picture exhibitions. The theater was completed during the 1920s by Belle Mote, an individual whose substantial financial investment in theatrical entertainment infrastructure reflects personal commitment to bringing sophisticated entertainment to Riverton. During its initial decades of operation, the Acme Theatre hosted vaudeville performances and penny shows, entertainment forms that generated substantial enthusiasm among audiences during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and represented the primary form of live entertainment available to most Americans prior to the rise of motion picture technology. The transition from vaudeville and penny shows to motion picture exhibition reflects broader economic and cultural transformations across America during the twentieth century. The paranormal phenomena documented throughout the Acme Theatre manifest as apparitional sightings associated with two distinct spiritual entities whose deaths apparently occurred during the theater's operational history. The primary documented spirit is identified as a vaudeville performer whose death apparently occurred during the theater's earlier operational period when vaudeville performances were the primary entertainment form. This spirit is characterized as wearing clothing and attire consistent with vaudeville performance traditions of the early twentieth century, suggesting either that the apparition manifests in the dress worn at the time of death or that the spirit's consciousness remains fixed upon the performance period that dominated his or her life. The vaudeville performer's continued presence within the theater suggests an attachment to the performance space itself, possibly resulting from unfinished artistic ambitions or emotional investment in theatrical performance. A second documented apparition is described as a young woman dressed in vintage clothing, repeatedly observed seated in the balcony area during late evening or nighttime hours. The paranormal phenomena within the Acme Theatre manifest distinctly in different sections of the building, with the presence of the vaudeville performer spirit characterized as producing a sense of presence particularly during late shows and performances, suggesting possible interest in ongoing theatrical activities or residual manifestation triggered by contemporary performance. The young woman in vintage dress consistently appears within the balcony area, a location suggesting possible association with the social dimensions of theatrical attendance. The sense of dread reported by visitors and staff within the basement areas remains less clearly connected to specific identified entities, though the phenomenon suggests residual trauma or negative emotional energy concentrated in the below-ground spaces. The variety of paranormal phenomena distributed throughout different sections of the theater suggests multiple independent spiritual entities each with distinct characteristics. The Acme Theatre has attracted paranormal investigation attention from paranormal research organizations and local historical scholars attempting to document and understand the hauntings. Wyoming paranormal investigation groups have conducted investigations attempting to document the apparitions and gather evidence through contemporary electronic instrumentation. However, some resistance to the paranormal narratives has emerged from local sources, with the theater manager expressing skepticism regarding the hauntings. Local historians have documented the theater's history and attempted to correlate the paranormal phenomena with documented deaths and historical events. The Acme Theatre has become recognized among paranormal researchers as a significant location deserving serious investigation and documentation, contributing to Wyoming's emerging reputation as a paranormal hotspot.
