EMAILNOTICES>noI can't remember exactly when it was (I'm sure I could find out) but I wasinvolved with Stirling Player's one act Festival and I was a member of theBefore Dawn production. The four cast members were all gathered in the carpark sort of between two cars (me included) chatting about new ideas forthe upcoming performance. We kept adding new gags every night.I remember seeing something dark-brown in colour flash between the fourof us accompanied by a sudden Chill. Myself and two others all jumpedat exactly the same time. You couldn't have timed it better if you counted.The fourth didn't see or feel a thing, but one other had seen and feltsomething while the third had just suddenly felt cold. We all decidedto go back inside shortly there after.I've heard stories of a ghost at Stirling and was told that I had wornthe costume the man they believe to be haunting the place had once worn himselfwhen I did Italian Straw Hat there, and I had always had the feeling thatsomeone was watching me whenever I was there since that show. I wasn't toldabout the costume thing until much later, like about a year and a half afterthe show. Suposedly, it was his favourite costume.Jeff "Still shuddering" Watkins
