i work in the Morale Theatre in my city. We do many proformances and plays for the citizens. I help with backstage and cleaning up the place. It has known to be haunted and many employees have had experiences there. I, on the other hand, have just recently started working there. One night at the theatre i was working with my friend Rachel. Now you have to know, this theatre is very big and has many other rooms, not just the theatre itself.

Anyways, i was working on the stage, cleaning it and such when i noticed something out of the corner of my eye. i looked over the the what seemed like the 5th row and second seat over. i saw a big puff of smoke whirling around this seat, like a cigarette smoke. This theatre has also a non-smoking policy which everyone follows so it seemed very frightening and peculiar to me. Also these seats in this theatre are very old and can get stuck down easily and i noticed the seat was down. So, after a few second of watching the smoke the seat went up by itself! As if someone was sitting there and had gotten up. The puff of smoke moved over and out towards the door, but before reaching it the smoke scattered into the air, like a usual cigaratte smoke would have. This all happened in about 10 seconds at the latest too. and i immediately left through the back and got my friend Rachel and told her the story. Rachel did believe me cause she has had paranormal encounters herself at the theater since she has starting working.

THIS IS HER STORY:

Hi, as you know my name is Rachel and i work at the Morale Theatre. I too help with the backstage and cleaning. I have been working in the theatre for more then 2 and a half years and i love it there. Anwyays, one night i was working with another co-worker who was in the lobby working stocking the candy and such. I, ofcourse, was in the theatre cleaning the seat and picking up trash. I looked up at the stage quickly and on the far right hand behind the curtain i could see part of the catwalk, in which i saw a person on, more like a dark shadow. I thought to myself noone is supposed to be on the catwalk right after a play and so i walked up there to go see who it was. As i was walking towards the stage, never taking my eyes of the shadow it seemed to disappear or VERY FASTLY run past the curtain where i couldn't see it. Now if this person did run behind the curtain i would have seen him or her when i looked because there is only one way to get up and down the cat walk which was the righthand side i saw it on. and of course when i went to look behind the curtain, there was nothing at all on the catwalk. creeepy i know. Other employees have had different experiences too, look out for more stories about the Morale Theatre.
