Morecambe Antiques Centre
Morecambe Antiques Centre occupies a historic building on Pedder Street in Lancaster, England. Originally constructed in the late 19th century, the structure served as a cinema and entertainment venue for decades before being converted into an antiques center. The building’s architecture reflects its Victorian-era origins, with ornate details and a grand facade typical of the period.
During its time as a cinema, the building was known as the Odeon Theatre. It opened in 1939 and operated for several decades, becoming a focal point of local entertainment. The cinema closed in the 1970s, after which the building saw various uses before becoming an antiques center.
Over the years, staff and visitors have reported numerous paranormal experiences within the building. One of the most frequently encountered spirits is said to be that of a former projectionist who worked in the cinema. Witnesses describe seeing a shadowy figure in the projection room area and hearing unexplained footsteps.
Another commonly reported entity is a young girl, often seen or heard on the building’s upper floors. Some claim to have heard her giggling or felt a small hand tugging at their clothing. The girl’s identity remains unknown, but speculation suggests she may have been a patron of the old cinema.
Staff members have reported objects moving on their own, particularly in the antique-filled display areas. Items have allegedly been found in different positions or locations from where they were left, with no explanation for their movement.
Cold spots and sudden temperature drops have been experienced throughout the building, particularly in the former projection room and near the stage area where performances once took place. Some visitors have reported feeling watched or sensing an unseen presence while browsing the antiques.
