One of the famous London buildings, for which notoriety was entrenched, can rightfully be ranked - the Royal Theater on Drury Lane. In a unique old building, created three hundred years ago, several ghosts settled, from the sudden appearance of which people’s hearts sink into their heels. The most famous of the ghosts in theaters is undoubtedly the one known as the "Man in Gray." Over the past two hundred years, many frightened actresses and inveterate theatergoers have met this mysterious ghost.
The ghost walks in breeches, a long fitted jacket, and a triangular hat. In most cases, he solemnly walks through the entire hall along the aisle to the stage, and then suddenly disappears into thin air. However, some theatergoers met this ghost, who was sitting in one of the audience's chairs. There are rumors that his appearance before the performance heralds the success of the performance.
According to theater experts, about a century ago in this theater they came across a small closet in which a human skeleton was imprisoned with a knife stuck between the ribs. The man is said to have been stabbed to death by a brutal theater manager.
Sometimes unusual events take place in the theater, which indicate that ghosts in theaters are far from the fruit of someone's exuberant imagination. Some of the actors shared terrible memories that being on stage, they felt the shocks of "invisible hands".
The Drury Lane Theater is probably the most famous in London, but far from the only one in which the souls of the dead have found their last refuge.
As it turned out, ghosts live in 5 more theaters in the capital of Great Britain. Among them - the phantom of John Buxtone, his appearance also portends the success of the theatrical performance.
Buxtone, the actor and manager of the Haymarket Theater, was known as Queen Victoria's favorite. His phantom is very benevolent and appears out of thin air on an empty auditorium during the performance.
The phantom of Henry Field, who was the "servant of Melpomene" and director of the theater in the 18th century, also settled in this theater.
