The Myth of the Opera Ghost

The Opera ghost is said to appear in the shape of a gentleman in dress clothes but his suit is said to only cover a skeleton. He seems to come straight through walls and is like a shadow, speaking no one and vanishing as soon as he is seen.

He makes no noise on walking but is said to have a ‘death’s head’.

‘ “He is extraordinarily thin and his dress-coat hangs on a skeleton frame. His eyes are so deep that you can hardly see the fixed pupils. You just see two big black holes, as in a dead man’s skull. His skin, which is stretched across his bones like a drumhead, is not white, but a nasty yellow. His nose is so little worth talking about that you can’t see it side-face; and the absence of that nose is a horrible thing to look at. All the hair he has is three or four long dark locks on his forehead and behind his ears.” ’ –Joseph Buquet

‘ And why? Because he had seen coming toward him, at the level of his head, but without a body attached to it, a head of fire! ’ –speaking of Fireman Pampin’s ‘Opera ghost’ encounter
