Spectral secrets of Royal Court may be revealed

THE strange secret of why the spirit of a man known as Les still haunts Liverpool's Royal Court theatre may soon be unearthed.

The theatre has allegedly played host to a number of ghosts and outbreaks of paranormal activity since it opened in its present form in 1938.

All could be revealed when world-famous blind psychic Sharon Neill brings her Second Sight presentation to the Royal Court today.

Sharon, who has been blind since birth in Belfast 39 years ago, was delighted to find out that the theatre has a number of ghostly occupants.

"There's all sorts of reasons why spirits stay around a certain building after their body has passed on to the other side," she said.

"It can be because they have happy memories associated with a place but can also be because they disapprove of what is happening in the building or what the building is being used for."

The theatre's building manager, Andy Kirby has been witness to manifestations as have other members of staff which is now the extensively revamped venue for the Rawhide Comedy Club.

"There have been all sorts of things going on since we moved into the building last year and most of them have been put down to a spirit we call Les, who we think was an old caretaker who died here. Slamming doors, paint pots dropping from the fly floors and a strange smell that appears and disappears with no explanation."
