Susan Harker of Harrogate Paranormal Society said: "We are all very excited and grateful to have been given this opportunity to investigate this beautiful and historic building."

"Alice" has been sighted many time by staff at Harrogate Theatere over the years.

A mysterious apparition, according to legend she was the victim of a terrible love affair and is said to haunt the stalls area of Harrogate Theatre to this day.

She has been linked to ghostly spirits, orbs of hovering light, sudden chills and the lingering scent of peppermint.
