We're feeling a little pre-pre-pre-pre October up in here, so we've got a spooky episode for ya! We've got the ghost of a theatre owner who insists on dressing like a Catholic priest (uh, he was NOT a priest nor was he even Catholic), and just wait 'til you hear who - or what - Laura Linney saw when she was performing at the Belasco, said to be the most haunted Broadway theatre in NYC.
