Ghost Hunting at Royalty Theatre (Sunderland)

Date: Saturday 4 April – Sunday 5 April 2026
Time: 9:00 PM – 2:00 AM
Location: Sunderland, SR2 7PP

Join Kindred Spirit Investigations for an immersive ghost hunting and paranormal investigation experience at The Royalty Theatre, one of the UK’s most atmospheric historic theatres. Once the doors close and the lights fade, this emotionally charged venue takes on a very different character.

Investigate the auditorium, backstage areas, stairwells, and hidden spaces after dark as you explore reports of unexplained activity in a location shaped by worship, wartime suffering, and over a century of performance history. This is a calm, structured, and professional paranormal investigation suitable for both beginners and experienced investigators.

The Royalty Theatre has a layered and emotionally intense past. Originally built as a church in the 1800s, it later served as a First World War hospital before reopening as a theatre in 1925. Each chapter introduced powerful human emotion — devotion, pain, healing, creativity, and loss — which many believe has left a lasting imprint on the building.

When the theatre is empty and silent, reports suggest paranormal activity becomes more noticeable. Actors rehearsing late at night have described seeing a lone figure seated at the back of the auditorium, silently watching rehearsals before disappearing without explanation.

• Sudden temperature drops and cold spots
• Disembodied footsteps on staircases and backstage
• Doors slamming shut with no visible cause
• Moans, whistles, and distant voices
• Children’s laughter echoing through empty areas
• A playful spirit reported to move furniture and belongings
• The sound of a woman sobbing when no one can be found

Other investigation teams have suggested possible links to wartime spirits, including pilots and individuals connected to the building’s historic wartime use.

Investigating The Royalty Theatre is an opportunity to explore a building where the past may still be replaying — and where something unseen may still be watching from the shadows of the auditorium.
