Theatre Ghosts

Theatre Ghosts gathers reported hauntings linked to theatres in Great Britain, treating backstage traditions and alleged apparitions as stories attached to working performance spaces. Roy Harley Lewis’s account includes a tale associated with London’s Old Vic, alongside other theatre-based cases drawn from theatrical history and ghost lore.

Rather than presenting a fictional narrative, the book examines claims connected with real theatres and the people who worked in them. Its subject sits between British theatre history and supernatural reportage, with illustrated material supporting the text. The result is a focused survey of stage ghosts, remembered incidents and the legends that have accumulated around theatres over time.
