I am a rigger/stagehand in Santa Barbara and have been for many years. Being a rigger means we are the people who climb all the way to the top of the theater and hang points for shows that hold sound, lighting trusses, and whatever is needed for the show. We go places that no one in the theater ever goes. The ghosts hang out up there sometimes, mostly.
In my experience at the Granada, there are three ghosts there. Two of them are very friendly, and the third is friendly but grumpy sometimes and a trickster. I don’t know their origin, but they are there. I have seen one and heard the other two, as well as felt their presence. They just hang out and watch mostly.
What is interesting is one has been there for a very long time and was there before the renovation. The two others are new after the renovation. Maybe because they dug so deep down to put in the new dressing rooms and everything in the basement?…
