Two: one in the stage floor, and one in the Heavens (the ceiling above the stage).
yes there were trap doors and pully systems :)
Many trap doors and pulley systems were at use but nothing special in our day, but what made it impressive was how it was used back then.
2 in total, the first one is on the stage, the second one is near the entrance.

Shakespeare's Globe, a modern theatre built in 1997, is a replica of the Globe Playhouse, an Elizabethan theatre built by Richard and Cuthbert Burbage and the carpenter Peter Street in 1599. Like it, and like all theatres of that time and most nowadays, there is a trapdoor in the stage. This enables actors to suddenly appear or disappear from below (as the witches do in Macbeth) in a puff of smoke. It also could be used to represent a hole in the ground, like Ophelia's grave in Hamlet, or the mine being dug under the walls of Harfleur in Henry V.

The mechanical devices used in the Globe Theatre were things like trap doors and things that made people flying or made them come up from under the ground like hanging wires.
Trap doors, wires that made people "fly", platforms that made people come from "underground" etc.

Most of his plays...at least in his later years were performed in the Globe Theatre in London. A purpose built stage that featured trap doors, and suspension apparatus to allow performers to more accurately represent demons, and angels, which were ubiquitous in most plays of the time. However, an exact answer is impossible since most of his works were written, and were performed by many troops all around Britain For many years. It would have been much like the life of musicians, and stage actors today.
Trap doors were built into the stage allowing dramatic entrances during the performances of plays. The height of the stage was five feet - so the area beneath the stage was easily big enough to hold actors. This area underneath the stage was given the title "Hell". This was taken from the term 'hell mouth' which was used to refer to any trap-door in the bottom of a stage (called the cellerage). The Globe theatre stage was believed to have had two trap doors on the outer stage and one trap door on the inner stage called the "grave trap" Actors would hide in "Hell" waiting to make their entrance or to create other special effects. Unusual special effects could be made from 'Hell' including different sounds using different musical instruments such as the trumpet, or drums. Actors skilled in imitating the baying of hounds and crowing of roosters or the wailing of ghostly sounds would also be waiting in 'Hell'.
