Scotland's 10 Most Haunted Places

By M J Steel Collins /

2. Theatre Royal, Glasgow

One of Glasgow's oldest theatres, and perhaps the most haunted in a city fit to burst with ghost riddled theatres, the theatre opened in 1867, and was renamed the Theatre Royal in 1869. It is the oldest operational theatre in Scotland, having gone through a series of guises, including a stint as the studios for Scottish Television, and is clearly so great that some choose not to leave. The most famous continued resident is the ghost of Norah, a theatre cleaner who dreamed about a life on stage and wrangled herself an audition for an upcoming show, only to be laughed off stage before committing suicide in despair. Her comrades also include some ghostly patrons who frequent the theatre in death as they did in life, who once treated Peter Underwood, the prolific ghost hunter, to some poltergeist activity as he waited to be interviewed.
