Could this spirit orb be connected to the actor who died on stage?
Tony followed Matilda out from backstage and filled us in on
what had happened. The energy who had gravitated to Matil-
da’s side was not pleasant. Jimmy was a slight and wizened Irishman and had been a paedophile and alcoholic. Although he had
passed some seventy years ago, had not shaken his predilection for young girls. As an eighteen year-old, Matilda just managed to squeeze into his preferred age range, whereas as forty-somethings Glenda and I were seemingly quite safe!
Matilda recounted that a hot uncomfortable energy moved
in beside her and described how her entire right side had felt as though it was burning. She said that the physical sensation was accompanied by an innate sense of creepiness, and the desire to get away. The objects flying off the shelves added to her alarm, and she was torn between staying for the sake of her story and 104 Haunted Theaters
bolting to safety. The latter won out and she returned to the
front of the stage.
Deciding we had fraternised with Jimmy and his cohorts
for long enough we bundled into our cars and set off for our
next destination; the Roleystone Theatre.
Since were running ahead of schedule, we stopped at a
secluded location along the way. We parked at the end of a
cul-de-sac, which led towards a bushland track bordered by a
dry, grassy field. Unbeknownst to Tony, it was where my hus-
band discovered the remains of a murder victim almost three
years earlier. The experience had left Stuart deeply shaken. He often wondered whether the spirit of the young woman in
question had managed to move on.
Tony and Stuart headed down the bush track, whilst the
rest of us remained close to the car. An eerie stillness seemed to settle around us.
Tony made a bee-line to where my husband discovered the
body, describing how Stuart had needed to remove overlying
logs to discover the remains. This was true, as the murderer
had tried to dispose of his victim’s body by placing it in a log-filled pit, which he then proceeded to set alight. Indeed it was his clumsy attempt at covering his tracks which were to be the murderer’s undoing, as the grass-fire which ensued attracted
the attentions of the local fire service.
Stuart was the fire fighter dealing with the smouldering
pit. Just prior to his grisly discovery, he was systematically removing the logs which obscured the body hidden underneath.
Tony went on to describe several details related to the
case, including the first initial of the victim’s name, all of which Stuart confirmed. It was heartening to discover that the Haunted Theaters 105
woman had guided Stuart towards discovering her remains,
and that she was grateful for the role he had played in bring-
ing her killer to justice. Tony also confirmed that although the woman had initially been earthbound, she had now crossed
over and was very much in the light.
Our detour proved to be an enlightening diversion. Firstly,
it cemented our belief in Tony’s abilities as a medium. Sec-
ondly (and perhaps even more importantly) it provided Stuart
with closure to what had been a life-changing and profoundly
disturbing event.
Next on the agenda was the Roleystone Theatre, a half
hour drive away through undulating hills. The old theatre
was set well away from the road; a secluded haven for restless ghosts.
We were greeted by the current president Zyg; a high-
energy, torch-yielding gentleman who made us feel extremely
welcome. So much so that he was to leave us with a free run
of the building for as long as we needed, under the proviso we locked up securely before we left.
Zyg filled us in on some of his own his ghostly encoun-
ters, including seeing a ghost so densely life-like that it almost looked as though a living person had walked across the
