Federicci The Princess theatre ghost (Melbourne)
No this isn't proof ghosts are real and pose for fan photoes. This is Rob Guest very much alive and not in costume. I found it on photobucket this picture link leads to an article about the lovely Princess Theatre where I saw the phantom of the opera not the ghost. The lady I have no Idea who she is. It was the theatre which for a time was the home of the Melbourne Productions of the Andrew Lloyd Webber Phantom of the Opera.
The picture below is Frederick Baker Aka Federici (1850 - 1888) he died there playing Mephistophiles in the opera Faust (which is familiar to most phantom fans as the opera in the phantom book and most other movie versions of the phantom) and his ghost had a favourite seat in the dress circle. The next article is a transcript in which Rob Guest talks of Federici being mistaken for him during a performance of Les Miserables. Guest was Jean Valjean in the show. Unlike Erik Federici is loved not feared (other than as a ghost) they look of his appearances as lucky and they have a bar/cafe called Federici's. Federici was laid to rest in the Melbourne General Cemetery in Melbourne, Australia where you can find his body in his grave, but his soul stayed with the theatre he died in of a heartattack as he sank in to a trap door as his character went back to hell the first video is a performance of the last scene of Faust. The 2nd video explains more of the dramatic death of Federici who after his death even bowed to his audience.
