Our cinema is haunted by ghost that throws things at customers

National World - Viral Videos

Welcome to Britain's most haunted cinema - which is 'stalked by a ghost that walks through walls' and throws things at customers.  Staff at Moray Playhouse are convinced the movie theatre is haunted after a series of paranormal occurrences.  They say a shadowy figure walks through walls and the toilet door, items fly through the air and disembodied voices whisper in the dark.   A second spook is said to be dressed in the period clothes of a fishwife.  The cinema in Elgin in Scotland has been the venue for a whole host of ghostly happenings.

00:00Hello, I'm Alistair from the Northern Scot, and I'm here with Steve Bieski,

00:06the General Manager of the Murray Playhouse Cinema.

00:09I've got a question for you, Steve.

00:11Yes.

00:12Are you ready?

00:13I am ready, yes.

00:14Come on, let's go.

00:15Let's go.

00:17All right.

00:22We have had some spooky goings-on in the cinema over the past few years.

00:27Here we have the kiosk.

00:29People will recognise the cinema in the dark.

00:31It's usually a lot brighter.

00:33Our most recent event that we had involved the kiosk here.

00:40To my surprise, we had three piles of hot lid cups

00:52kindly remove themselves from the counter where they are stored

00:56and landed down in front of our microwave down here.

00:59I was in the building myself.

01:01Nobody else here at all.

01:03I heard the noise and came through and seen immediately what it was.

01:07Now, those cup lids that are on the floor do not get stored anywhere near there.

01:10They came from up here.

01:13Nobody else was in the building, and they landed down there.

01:15Three perfect piles there.

01:17I have photographic evidence on my phone as well.

01:19Sadly, nothing was picked up on the CCTV cameras

01:22because they don't quite cover that area there.

01:25When was this, Steve?

01:27This was probably about two months ago now.

01:29That's the most recent one that we've had.

01:31There's far more than that, isn't there?

01:33Far more has happened in the past four years that I have been here.

01:36There has been lots going on before my time here as well.

01:39Now, I will take you upstairs and I will show you and tell you

01:44about what has happened over the past couple of years

01:47that warrants an investigation of the paranormal activity.

01:51Please lead the way.

01:53Follow me if you follow me.

01:56Right, so here we have the foyer for Cinema 2 and 3

02:00where I've seen my most impressive spooky situation here.

02:05I came up to a lock-up one night, came around the corner here,

02:09and straight ahead of me at the door here at the gents' toilets

02:13– have you got the torch there, Alasdair?

02:16– gents' toilets here, a shadowy figure came through the toilet door

02:21– actually, through the toilet door.

02:23The door didn't move. It came out, walked round the corner

02:26and went into the door on the right-hand side there.

02:30This door here is the gents' toilets.

02:33The shadowy figure came through this door, took a couple of steps,

02:37went round the corner and went through this door into the staff room here.

02:42It's a large figure of a gentleman.

02:45There was no other details on it. It was just a shadowy figure, pure black.

02:49No other distinctive features on it at all.

02:52And it's strange that it happened in this corner

02:54because my other personal situation that's happened

02:57was opening up one morning.

03:00This is the door here for the cleaner's cupboard.

03:02All our light switches are behind here.

03:06Wednesday morning, opened up.

03:08As soon as I put the key in the door and opened the door,

03:11a voice, as clear as day, just over my right-hand shoulder,

03:15right in the ear,

03:16said, are you ready?

03:17Are you ready?

03:18Are you ready?

03:19And that was it.

03:21Instantly got the goose bumps.

03:23My reply was, I'm ready. I hope it's going to be busy.

03:26And that was it.

03:28When you hear things as clear as day, I know I'm not going crazy,

03:33it does put a shock to the system.

03:36I bet.

03:37Is it just yourself that's seen this?

03:39Other members of staff have said they've seen and heard things in the cinema.

03:44We've got a couple of ladies in the kiosks,

03:46Sheena Cameron and Linda Connor.

03:48They've been with the company for over 30 years

03:50and they have both heard stories of people seeing things.

03:54They've experienced things themselves.

03:56We've had workmen in the building that have said

03:58that they've heard noises,

03:59especially when Cinema 3 was getting built.

04:02A lot of activity seems to be happening

04:04when things are getting done in the building,

04:06when we're making changes.

04:08But you say, is it frightening?

04:10I mean, you say you never felt threatened.

04:12Never once felt threatened.

04:13This was the biggest one with the shadow coming through the door

04:16because that was something I could actually see with my own eyes.

04:20And I had to run downstairs and get help from Sheena to come up

04:23because I just didn't want to be up here myself.

04:25Since then, everything has been cool.

04:27There's not been any issues.

04:28But I never once felt threatened.

04:31It's almost like we're a part of a family.
