Superstition
is rife in the theatre and so is the belief that some theatres are haunted.
Hollywood star Jack Lemmon claimed that his dressing room at London's Haymarket
Theatre is haunted.
Jack Lemmon
An apparition,
he said "has scared me to death. I've been in my dressing room alone
with the windows shut- and three times the door has opened and slammed when
there's nobody around. Something is watching you." Jack thought, "somebody
might be playing a practical joke on me, which is not a wise thing to do
for a guy of my age."
Staff of the Haymarket
believe that it is the ghost
of former stage manager Buckstone that causes the problem.
