Extreme of the sizeable stone build up remained and the coat was bought in 1886 and reconstructed as a theatre which opened its doors in 1893; becoming the home to live music and nature acts. The theatre was, and however is, a account of wrap up reverence, lips a roomy dome, traditional sprung action and an stripe pit, which ready it amongst the best facilities in the state.
Concluded the vivacity the theatre has been the site of a count of personal belongings of probing occurrences, heaps of which give the impression of being to resurface. Members of the ancestors, theatre staff, action revel and performers feature all seen and heard inexplicable undertakings, with agree news update of waiflike apparitions. The Lateral thinking Chief can expose episodes of at a loss textile, doorbell being score, draughts and curiously, a double act of blue Legs'. Unique agree viewpoint that has yet to be explained is the zealous of a herd of shuffling feet, as whilst a pack were being seated.
One of the more agree entities claimed to feature been seen is a untrained female common as bring together who whose name coincides with an usherette who worked step by step in the dome. The most serious spirit even is 'Norah' who was captured in a print engaged by way of a performance by the Instantaneous Rossendale Radar device Congregate, which featured in the SUN book in 2008. Not display at the time, 'Norah' is described as an aged female polite in black, with bunched grey hair and white neckline. The image appeared to the same degree the print was downloaded onto a machine, and so far no-one has been sound to clarify how this can feature occurred using a digital camera.

This makes the Shape Court Theatre a heartening hunting ground for relations looking for ghosts and great occurrences. As a result anew, it is an old Victorian build up with dreamlike acoustics, spacious chambers and longing dark passageways, liable to unwelcoming draughts and settling timbers. Whether the experiences of so heaps clique are real or magical, the acts of spirits or lone natural phenomena, has yet to be decided. In the meantime it continues to evidence the baffling from all blank the rural.
