    Hi, I was doing community service one time cleaning the stage and basement of this theateR when we were down stairs we heard a woman talking down the corridor but when we went to look there was no one there. We went back to moving stuff and heard her again. When we looked over we saw a shadow figure standing there then dart behind the wall. We also heard her again when we were back stage cleaning the dressing room.
