Epstein Theatre, Hanover Street Formerly the Neptune Theatre, the building currently housing the Epstein Theatre (named in honour of Beatles manager Brian Epstein) has a long and chilling history of hauntings dating back over the century it has stood on Hanover Street. It began life as Crane’s Music Hall, named after the Crane Brothers who ran a music store over the hall. There were a number of suicides at the hall, and in the 1920s the ghost of a man with a broken neck was seen in the dressing rooms of the theatre. His appearance is said to herald misfortune or death and one actress who saw the reflection of a pale-faced man with his head lying sideways on his shoulder in her dressing room mirror later died during a simple operation. In February 1993, a musical production of Dennis Wheatley’s book “The Devil Rides Out” was staged at the Neptune and all hell reportedly broke out when a pentagram was chalked on the stage. All of the cast members were plagued with paranormal phenomena.
