Backstage sightings at the Old National Centre (Murat Theatre)

The Old National Centre, originally built as the Murat Shrine/Murat Theatre and opened in the early 20th century, has accumulated reports from performers and staff of unexplained footsteps, voices, and cold spots backstage and in dressing-room areas. Local news stories and theatre histories record these anecdotal accounts alongside the building's long performance history. These reports are framed as personal and anecdotal and remain a mix of folklore and contested interpretation.
