The cinema is haunted by the apparitions of two men in period clothing, who have been seen in the lounge and on the staircase. The projectionist booth is also haunted, with reports of cold spots and the sensation of an unseen presence. During closing hours, staff reportedly hear loud footsteps pacing the upper floor, but find nothing. (Submitted by Callum Swift)

    This happened when I was watching a film a few years ago with my school. I was sitting on the first row below the walkway and about halfway through the film I felt something plucking/tugging the individual hairs in my ponytail (which wasn't too painful, but noticable and annoying). I brushed my hand over my head but this plucking sensation continued and when I turned to see if someone was behind me, there was a rush of cold air that brushed past my face as if someone was running past, but I didn't see anyone.
    At the time I made up any explanations I could - thinking that it was probably a teacher or student - but, despite this, I still didn't see anyone walk past me, nor stand behind me. It couldn't have been air con as the cold air was noticeably in that one spot when I turned (and the hair pulling was too 'strong' to be a breeze of air). It shocked me a bit, but I didn't think it was anything supernatural until I was back home and recalling it properly.
