Spookiest seat in the house . . .
(From The Northern Echo)
Byline: ALISON LEWIS
Staff at Darlington Civic Theatre have reported ghostly goings-on for years. Now, a team of ghostbusters has put the reported sightings to the test by spending a spinetingling night at the venue. ALISON LEWIS reports
STANDING at the back of the dark theatre during a play, Peter Tate was somewhat unnerved when he encountered Signor Pepi - as he had been dead for nearly 70 years.
Mr Tate, a former police sergeant, now duty manager at Darlington's Civic Theatre, had noticed a shadowy figure out of the corner of his eye, only to swing round and find it had gone.
His tale is one of many stories of ghostly goings-on at the theatre.
Staff have heard footsteps in empty corridors, doors have shut on their own and usherettes have been tapped on the shoulder only to find no one behind them.
