Is it REALLY haunted?

This question can only be answered based on your beliefs, I don't believe in ghosts and I have worked in so many theatres and I can speak from experience that theatres are spooky but that doesn't mean they are haunted. Especially, older theatres with creaky floors, old costumes, old set pieces, and props lying around. If you believe in ghosts you will for sure see or hear "something" when working in an old theatre.
