Moray Playhouse cinema in Scotland has been named Britain’s most haunted cinema, leaving the staff with “goosebumps” after witnessing mysterious shadows and voices.

The staff have said they have been tormented by eerie spirits in a series of paranormal activities, including witnessing a “shadow through the door” and being “stalked by a ghost that walks through walls.”

It’s not only the staff that have come across ‘the ghost’. Customers have reportedly experienced it throwing items at them inside the cinema.

The general manager and staff say Moray Playhouse has been haunted for the past few years, and according to them, the foyer for cinemas 2 and 3 is where the most mysterious encounters happen.

Steve Bieszke, general manager said: “We have had some spooky goings on in the cinema in the past few years. Our most recent event involved the kiosk. To my surprise, we had three piles of hot cup lids kindly remove themselves from the counter, where they are stored, and landed in front of the microwave.”

Steven recalled being alone in the cinema when the incident happened two months ago. He also shared the moment a “shadowy figure” walked through a toilet door and the time he heard a voice.

He added: “…another situation that I had was when I was opening up one morning. The door to the cleaning cupboard has all our light switches in here. One Wednesday morning, I was opening up, and as soon as I put the key in the door, I heard a voice, clear as day over my right hand shoulder. It said, 'are you ready?'

"I instantly got the goosebumps. When you hear things as clear as day, I know I’m not going crazy – but it is a shock to the system. Other members of staff have also said they’ve seen and heard things in this cinema. They’ve heard stories of people who’ve experienced things here, or they’ve seen and heard things themselves."

Despite all the freaky encounters that have gone on he says they have not caused any “greater alarm” than goosebumps and even went as far as saying it’s like they are “part of a family.”
