GHOST CARRIES ON
SEEN AT DRURY LANE The Drury Lane ghost carries on. Four people on the stage during a recent forces broadcast said they saw it in its favourite upper circle seat, the rest of the circle being empty at the time. Mr MacQueen-Pope, whose family has been associated with the theatre for 200 years, says he has seen the ghost some two dozen times in the last 30 years. He talks of it as an old friend. It seldom stays long, he says, its visit the other day lasting about 10 minutes, at the end of which it vanished through the wall at its usual spot. A charwoman who had never heard of the ghost once reported its presence in the circle to Mr Pope; once he saw it at a distance of 12 yards. It has, however, never revealed itself to members of the Psychical Research Society, who have sometimes waited for it for hours on end. It is about 150 years old.
