War Memorial Opera House - backstage and auditorium anecdotal reports

The War Memorial Opera House, home to the San Francisco Opera and Ballet since 1932, is included in local performing-arts lore with backstage workers and performers occasionally reporting unexplained footsteps, cold spots, or fleeting figures in dressing-room and wing areas. These anecdotes are recorded in interviews, local arts coverage, and ghost-tour itineraries that tie such reports to the building's long theatrical history. The accounts are anecdotal and discussed as folklore or personal experience rather than empirically validated phenomena.
