The Legend of the Extra Devil

In 1594 in a performance of Dr Faustus an audience member said he had counted an extra devil on stage, which terrified the audience and the actors as there was no extra devil cast. This apparently happened more than once and people of that time came to believe that it was the real devil and made Dr Faustus a more famous play as people thought the play was haunted and cursed.
