I worked at the DSO from 2005 until 2015.
I co worker had an experience in paradise cafe. He saw the doorknob of the old office Turn. He opened the door to see who was in there . The room was empty. There was a back door, it had chairs piled against it.
I also had an experience. I was Taking a nap in the projection booth of the Music Box . I opened my eyes to see when someone walked in and go to the audio room. There is only one way in or out. I walked into the Audio room to see who was in there , It was empty.
