005: LA’s Haunted Globe Theater – Haunted in LA

A photographer who is clairvoyant encounters a spirit “mid-torture” at one of the most haunted theaters in Los Angeles underneath the stage at LA’s haunted Globe Theater. Daniel was a photographer at one of the most haunted theaters in Los Angeles. He also happens to be clairvoyant. Tonight’s story is about the entity he encountered underneath the stage at LA’s haunted Globe Theater. DANIEL: My name is Daniel and I’m a multimedia designer and photographer. What that equates to is I’ll go around and shoot a lot of nightlife photography videography for different groups across Los Angeles. At the time, this was pre pandemic, I think it was the fall of 2017. I was one of the Globe’s lead photographers in the sense, I would go into their spaces and shoot different nightlife like dance, burlesque shows, golf shows, dance parties, LGBT plus anything of that nature. So this whole experience happened on one of the nights in which I was there and photographing a friend’s burlesque group Cherry Poppins, at their Game of Thrones parody show. Growing up, my mom probably came out to me at about the age of 13, or 14, that in her own words, she was a clairvoyant, the way she described at the time when she saw or sensed certain things. She had it very young, she always had it at the age of I think she said, seven or eight, she was actually getting a lot of just flack from her mother because at the age of seven, and eight, she was basically having dreams of like people dying, but she would recognize something about them, and then it would actually come true. And it got I think, as freaky as my mom predicted the death of one of her mom’s closest friends, because she saw in a dream and she predicted exactly how it happened. So the interesting thing going into it was my mom always said that she has three kids. The universe speaks in threes, three different energy levels and stuff. My brother, who’s the oldest, he doesn’t like any of it. My sister who’s the middle child who’s three years older than me, she would always try very hard to have the certain ability or whatever, but she just doesn’t for whatever reason, not that mean, okay against it. But then me. I would not even try but I was a natural sensor for things. So the Globe Theater, the idea of different I guess you’d say spaces or locations housing certain energies, theaters, in particular in Los Angeles are very fascinating, because theater, in that sense involves a lot of drama, there’s a lot of performance going on a lot of flair, things of that nature. So when you combine certain energies with it, and just over time, things can get a bit murkier. On the Globe’s history’s like, a bit dark, I would say dark in terms of I don’t, I haven’t dived in the history, like in full myself. But what I least perceived is a sense of like a certain I would say like a typical like mob or like a different organized crime like nature, fall 2017 to spring of 2018. In this period of time, my friends will put on different shows. They had a Game of Thrones burlesque parody show. Dduring the show, there’s a certain jump that you have to do. By jump I mean, during the show, there’s a certain ground that you have to pretty much hop across to get from one photography vantage point to the other photography vantage point in the Globe. What’s hard about it is it’s built in a way that whatever renovations they did, it’s almost like it was built on a different foundation or there’s an under space in it, where in particular, there’s almost like a crawl space. And if you don’t go there’s a crawlspace that connects these two vantage points, and you can almost run through it and it starts in the back of one area, the dressing room area and then it goes all the way to the bathrooms on the other area, the second floor basement bathrooms. If you don’t go that way, you have to go around a one of either wings, that adds a couple of seconds. So during the rehearsal process, they wanted to to particular shots. And this was like each shot was the hard part because it was at the beginning and the end of this jump I almost had to shoot it from behind the stage to then run down the stairs, the like two flights into the dressing room, then through their back up and around the back stairs to then shoot across from the back of the theater. So at this point, during the rehearsal, I just determined I couldn’t in time, get the shots they wanted by going in either wing. So instead I’ll go through the crawlspace and this is where it got. Yeah, just very very weird. When I was doing this run, I decided to avoid the wings and use the crawl space. And when I started to enter it, it was that feeling of you’re in a space that it’s not really, I wouldn’t say malice or anything dark against you but it was very just a lot of like sulking or just like very dark, like festering energy, I guess you would say like, there’s something that just ...
