Kearney High auditorium

Nebraska · USA · Execution site

The theatre keeps a ghost light burning at all times except during performances. If it goes out overnight, something goes wrong at the next rehearsal.

The auditorium at Kearney Senior High School in Nebraska is associated with two presences, and the more active of them is called Walt. He is described as benevolent, provided he is treated properly.

The theatre keeps a ghost light, a single bulb left burning on the stage at all times except during performances. That is a genuine and near universal theatre tradition, kept partly for safety and partly for reasons nobody in the profession will quite disown.

At Kearney the rule is specific. If the ghost light goes out during the night, something will go wrong at the next rehearsal or performance. Costumes disappearing immediately before curtain is the example students give.

That is an unusually functional haunting. It gives the company a reason to check the light every night, which is exactly what the tradition exists to make them do.

The school is in use.
