| Drury
Lane Theatre. London Possibly the most haunted theatre in England, Drury Lane is host to numerous thespian ghosts. The most well known of all its spectral inhabitance is the 'Man in Grey' who appears dressed in elaborate costume with a tri-cornered hat, a powdered wig and a cloak, carrying a sword. He appears to be a recordings ghost, making no sound and always walking in the same direction and through a wall. He has a habit of appearing to actors who are rehearsing their lines on the stage. Those who see the ghost believe his visitations are a good omen that a play will do well at the box office.
