Very interesting piece from Ana Gasteyer on Biography's CELEBRITY GHOST STORIES. Hope the link works! (Her segment is after Harry Hamlin's)

Thats a creepy story and I truly believe in those things as well. I liked the cheap recreation/dramatization of when Ana was in WICKED. Its hysterical to see that young girl in a witch Halloween costume on stage. That cracked me up.

Even the ghosts have trouble getting tickets to Wicked!
For those curious ones, Ana's segment begins about the 5 minute mark.
Wow, the fire sounds like such a horrifying tragedy.

CREEEEEEPY. I agree with BettyBoy and also loved that recreation, hilarious.
That reenactment made me keel over in laughter. Especially the way they had her fly!
It had to be really terrifying for Ana to be singing the ending portion of "Defying Gravity." Not only was she terrified of heights, but to be seeing creepy things off stage at the same time? And having to focus on that beast of a song...yikes.

I wish defying gravity was staged like that.
I was dying. Wowwwww. that was something.
interesting story though!
What a horrible tragedy. Great little segment too; creepy and atmospheric. Kinda reminds me of Unsolved Mysteries.
I certainly agree with her that the back alley of the Oriental is pretty gosh darn creepy. The historical background puts that creepiness in perspective. And that recreation was hysterical :)
If only Elphie levitated like that! That would be stage craft! Instead we get a forklift and LOTS of smoke.
I remember the first time I saw WICKED and the "flying".
At the end of it I said: "That's it???" Cheep.
