Manchester was once home to a TV studio which was said to have been "haunted" by an actor who died there.
In 1956, ABC Studios opened in Didsbury in the former Capitol Cinema on the corner of Parrs Wood Road and School Lane. There were three television studios which were used by ITV to film programmes that were only broadcast during the weekend.
The TV shows that were made at ABC Studios included early episodes of The Avengers, Opportunity Knocks and Armchair Theatre. The latter starred an actor who was said to later haunt the studios following his death during filming.
