The Ghost Story
Percy Keene, the theater's dedicated stage manager for decades, is still often seen by visitors, performers, and staff. An unknown stagehand who died after falling into a coal bin and suffocating haunts the basement as a shadowy figure. A ghostly dog has also been spotted roaming the theater. The Grand offers ghost tours exploring its paranormal history.
