Breytenbach Theater in Pretoria South Africa, has long and haunted history. First build as a German club it was later changed to a production art studio, before it had to be used as a make-shift hospital during the 1918 flu epidemic.
So many people died there, mostly the elderly and the young, that they had to bury the bodies under the stage. One of the bodies was a nurse called Heather, that overseen the care of the young and who later also died of the same flu.
When visiting the theater, you can sometimes hear the crying of long lost children’s and know and then see nurse Heather still on her duty, roaming the theater looking after the children.
