haunted piers 1

Piers 1

I'll start in Brighton, as it's quite close to home.
I mentioned the West Pier, which is little more today 
than a skeleton in the sea, but it had a ghost.
As is often the case, the theatre on the pier is where
the haunting took place. The fairly common theatrical 
ghost, of a  well dressed gentleman, seated in the audience
during rehearsals. Apparently it was assumed to be the designer 
of the pier's theatre. 
Nowadays there's another ghost, a great silver pole 
sticking up into the sky on the promenade....
a strange sort of gravestone for one of the great

The ghost train is supposed to be haunted.
It's one of those hauntings, where things happen when 
the ride is switched off.
Torches turn off by themselves, when employees walk 
through in the dark,and footsteps are heard.
It's a place we are informed that employees don't like to enter
after hours.
