Hi people, I am a member of a paranormal research group, and we are interested in hearing about any ghost stories from local(WA) theatres. Also we would like to be able to do a supervised investigation in any local haunts. This is a serious group, who have many years experience in this type of research and they have many new technologies at their disposal to investigate the paranormal. I know myself that I have had some weird experiences in a local green room, so are keen to hear any other stories. The group is called West Australian Paranormal Reasearchers(WAPR) and if you would like more info, you can check out the website here. http://waparanormal.webs.com/ Thanks

Steve why not contact Ivan King [curator] at 'His Majesty's Theatre for the Maj's Museum Of Performing Arts.

I'm sure Ivan at 'MOPA'would be able to tell a few stories & possibly have actual defined info about spooks in Perth local theatres. http://www.hismajestystheatre.com.au/default.aspx?MenuID=286

I have heard a few stories back in the 70's especialy about hearing a hand bell in the dress Circle at on about a few minutes to 10pm.

There was always stories floating around of the ghost of 'Old Mick' [Erik Edgley of the performing team of brothers (Edgeley & Dawe)] who owned the theatre. He used to lean over the balcony ringing a hand bell & calling out to the audiance "Last drinks gentlemen please". To signal closing time of the hotel bar which was interconected to the theatre thru an iron door. He would do this every night & invarably stop the show, while the male punters trooped out into the bar & returned to thier seats after the bars 10pm closing time.
