The historic Hannan Playhouse is rumoured to be haunted by up to four spirits. On the day of the grand reopening of the theatre several years ago, a member of the theatre company found a set of footprints in a layer of dust several inches thick on the main stage, despite the fact that the building had been kept locked for several years prior to that. Ever since, the paranormal activity has been off the charts, with employees, actors and visitors reporting the apparition of a laughing caretaker, a ghostly female costume designer who appears in the dressing rooms, a black cat that crosses the stage during productions and a resident spook known affectionately as ‘Oscar’.
