Live Investigations trying to get real proof of the paranormal.

28/08/2026

The Pavilion Theatre on Renfield Street opened its doors on 29 February 1904, designed by celebrated theatre architect Bertie Crewe in an opulent French Renaissance style described as “pure Louis XV.”

Built as a music hall for Thomas Barrasford’s expanding chain, it featured magnificent Rococo plasterwork, mahogany woodwork, marble mosaic floors, and a domed ceiling with a rare, still‑operational electrically‑controlled sliding roof for ventilation.

With a seating capacity of 1,449 across stalls, circle, balcony and boxes, it quickly became one of Glasgow’s premier variety venues, hosting stars from Charlie Chaplin and Harry Lauder to Sarah Bernhardt.

Threatened with closure in 1981, it was rescued and remains Scotland’s last fully independent, non‑subsidised commercial theatre — a Category A listed building preserving its original layout and grandeur.

The theatre has accumulated a rich body of paranormal reports spanning decades, with the most famous and frequently witnessed phenomenon being the “seat‑tipping ghost”: staff and visitors have long reported balcony seats flipping up and down on their own, one by one, in the upper galleries when the building is quiet or empty.

The head stage doorkeeper reportedly sat waiting to catch it happening — nothing occurred until she opened a book, at which point the tipping began immediately.

Full‑bodied apparitions have also been seen: one audience member described a figure in a long coat, hat and prominent mutton‑chop whiskers walking down the aisle beside her during a performance, only to vanish when she looked again.

Disembodied footsteps echo along backstage corridors and stairwells, doors open and close without explanation, and the feeling of being watched or brushed past is frequently reported in the darker corners of the circle and upper balcony.

Other reported activity includes cold spots that linger in the auditorium regardless of heating levels, the faint sound of voices or singing when no one is present, and objects being moved or going missing only to reappear later in the same place.

The backstage areas, dressing rooms and basement spaces carry a particularly heavy atmosphere, with many performers and crew reluctant to be alone there after dark.

The theatre’s enduring reputation draws audiences and paranormal enthusiasts alike — making the Pavilion not only Glasgow’s oldest surviving variety theatre but also one of its most persistently haunted locations.

Here’s a video that came up as a memory.
Whilst walking through a grave yard “Ghost Hunting” Andy trips over and says he’s been tripped up.
Later we found out he broke his ancle and was in a boot for weeks but more interestingly take a look at the videos added and repeated at the end of his foot and something almost certainly pulls away in either direction..are they dark shadows of hands?
Did we have something trip him up? What’s your thoughts?

Playing from tonight Wuthering Heights at The Picture House we investigated a few weeks ago..

We were incredibly honoured tonight to be chosen for a special advanced press screening, and the film's Yorkshire Premiere, of Emerald's Fennell's "Wuthering Heights" hosted by Warner Brothers. It was a packed house and an incredible atmosphere, thank you to everyone on the guest list who came and all the kind words from those who attended and helped to organise this very special event, and the many who complimented our cinema too. We hope to see many more, as the film starts playing now daily at 4:35pm and 7:45pm!

One for wannabe Scottish ghost hunters

30/01/2026

Morning all,a change of location has prompted me to update KPI to KPI Scotland after moving up near Glasgow in the last week.
The paranormal interest is still there as it will be back in Yorkshire when I visit.
Scotland is a great place for haunted locations and castles as you can imagine and some of them I will be hoping to visit in the near future.
Watch out for new faces as well as the old ones on the investigations in the future Andy xx 👻👻
