Other than Yuri, many other ghosts have been reported in the theatre. Accounts frequently refer to the "Wailing Woman", the ghost of an actress said to wail throughout the theatre. She was allegedly trying to make a comeback, but instead was booed off the stage, causing her to commit suicide by slitting her wrists. There are different version to where the suicide happened, with some claiming it was at her home or in her dressing room. She is also said to be the cause of many of the odd occurrences surrounding lead actresses in plays performed at the St. James; many actresses performing on stage have sprained their ankle, one fell from a ladder, one suddenly caught a cold and was hoarse for her opera part.
