The former manager, George, hung himself after he found out he was in dire straits financially. He is reported here as is the smell of tobacco and the feeling of someone your shoulder. A woman in white has also been seen.

Many moons ago around 1980 just prior to going off to uni I worked at the Palace Theatre as an assistant to the stage manager and lighting director for the summer. Amazing experience for a young person. Anyway after the shows we would go to the ‘green room’ on occasion for a party. The theatre was locked , it was night. The director and I decided to go into the auditorium . We sat and chatted and suddenly there was a huge bang on the stage. The curtain was down. There was also someone in the auditorium apart from us so to speak. The place made me feel queasy at night . I have been told I am pretty psychic and I could not be in this place alone. It is definitely haunted by an old actor they say.
