ROXY STUDIOS 28-39 REVIEW AVENUE LONG ISLAND CITY, NEW YORK 11101 TEL: 1 (781) 361-0965 WEBSITE: https://roxystudios.8m.com For years, employees at Roxy Studios in Long Island City, New York, would tell stories about strange happenings in the studio.

The spirits of Roxy have never caused any harm; people have always said that Roxy had a life of its own. —Dominick Villella Paranormal Investigator, Paranormal Investigation of
