Three haunted theatres where the show may not be over, even after the final curtain.
From mysterious figures lurking in the wings to unexplained footsteps, ghostly faces and spirits said to linger among the seats, Ireland’s theatres have more than their fair share of backstage stories.
In this episode, I visit three supposedly haunted venues: Mullingar Arts Centre, Dublin’s Olympia Theatre, and Belfast’s Grand Opera House, exploring their fascinating histories and the eerie encounters reported by performers, staff and paranormal investigators.
And as the lights go down and the audience goes home, I ask whether these old theatres are keeping more than memories of the performances that once took place within their walls.
