The give-away was that the figure had no feet and seemed to
glide above the ground.
Zyg told us that a group of paranormal investigators had
recently spent the night there, capturing a photograph so dis-
turbing it still gives him chills. The photo clearly showed one of the past theatre presidents descending the lighting room
staircase, a menacing look on his face.
“I don’t think he was happy about strangers intruding on
his territory,” said Zyg.

Zyg described another encounter, whereby a female actress
dashed into the male dressing room for a quick costume
change.
“Get out,” said an angry voice. “You’re not supposed to be
in here!”
The entity she described looked very much like Jock, the
theatre president who had appeared on the stairs.
Needless to say, the poor lady in question bolted out of the
dressing room in two seconds flat.
Thus regaled by Zyg’s ghost stories, he left us to our own
devices.
Tony felt that the ghostly energy was concentrated around
the stage area, so we trundled into the theatre whilst Tony
began to tune-in. He stepped behind the curtain, his reaction
setting us instantly on edge.
“OK, this is really creepy,” he said. “I’m not liking this at
all …”
He asked us to step behind the curtain with him, as there
was a remarkable temperature gradient once you got back-
stage. Despite it being an uncomfortably warm summer’s eve-
ning, the chill backstage was unmistakeable. There was no
rational explanation as to why it would be so cold, whilst the rest of the theatre remained warm. There were no open windows or drafts. The suddenness made it all the more unset-
tling.
The girls in the group didn’t remain backstage for long, it
was way too scary. We went and sat in the front row of the
theatre, waiting for what would happen next. Stuart and Tony
remained behind the curtain, trying to establish contact with
the backstage ghost.

“Come on mate,” said Tony. “We know you’re here. Just
make a sound for us.”
Stuart reassured the ghost that we hadn’t come to make
trouble, and that we would just like some proof of his pres-
ence.
Suddenly there was a sharp clattering sound, like metal hit-
ting the floorboards. The ghost had responded by throwing a
screw ; it looked very much as though it had been thrown in
Stuart’s direction.
The two men emerged from behind the curtains, con-
vinced there was more activity to follow.
We began taking photographs of both the stage area and
the audience seats, both of which were replete with orbs. The
darkened theatre was dotted with bursts of light and shadowy
figures; it felt as though we were surrounded. We were well
and truly outnumbered by ghosts.
Tony walked up to the stage, eager to take things further.
“OK!” he called out into the darkness. “I’d like all spirits
here to come and join me on the stage. Move in nice and close
so that we can take your photograph …”
I took the photo immediately and gasped at what I saw. I’d
never seen anything like it. There was Tony, a solitary figure on the stage, surrounded by more orbs than I could even begin
to count. They made for a spectacular display! They were
varying sizes and intensities, and all manner of colours.
One in particular stood out more than the others, an
intense orange orb just to the right of the stage. Whereas
most of the others were a radiant variation of white, this one stood out as a more intense, vivid energy.
It has been hypothesized that the reddish/orange energies
correspond to earthbound entities and may relate to the sim-

connects us to the earth. Because these souls are earthbound,
