Legend:

As for Erik, the Phantom of the Opera, no one is entirely sure what happened. How he met his death is unknown. It is said that after Christine Daae fled with Raoul de Chagny, Erik died of loneliness and solitude in the depths of the catacombs. A skeleton unearthed in 1899 was believed to be of the Phantom. A few artifacts were found which were thought to have belonged to him.

These were placed in the Opera House library for safekeeping. But no one has proven that the Phantom of the Opera did in fact die! Perhaps his spirit lives on, hoping that one day Christine Daae would return to him in another form, in another time.


I do not believe the world has heard the last of Erik, the Phantom of the Opera.
