His parents in law were big fans of the theatre. To be in their good books, Fin and Frieda went with them to an art performance. During interval Fin used the rest room. While standing in front of the urinal an older gentleman joined him. "A very nice wife you have." Fin could describe the man later. He had a grey beard and hair, a grey hat and a three piece suit with a chain, indicating a pocket watch. All seemed very old fashioned. Fin thanked the stranger and was distracted by another person emerging from the toilet cubicle. Fin turned his attention to the old man and was startled, when his companion was gone. How could he vanish so quickly? It couldn't have happened unnoticed. "Did you see the man in the grey suit?" Fin asked the other man. "No. There is nobody else than you and me, mate."
When Fin later mentioned his strange experience to his parents in law, they said he had met the theatre's ghost.
