Ghost Tours.....

[Guest]

Last Saturday night a few members of the family and a friend went on a Ghost tour at St Bartholemews, Prospect......( the little church on the hill between the Great Western Highway and the M4).....

It wasn't scary, but really informative......Although the lady conducting the tours was trying to make us a bit nervey...

Just wondering what other ghost tours ahve wallsters been on, and are they any good......

I am a believer who would love to see something just once, to prove to myself that I an not mad for thinking this way.......

There are the ghost tours of the old Quarantine station at north head.

I have heard they are great.

Also, there is a Ghost tour of the Rocks, but i think that is more a ghoulish tour than an actual chance to see ghosts.

When I was living in Edinburgh there was tour of a street that had been sealed over due to disease. It was amazing and there was a room we were taken into where it was told that a young girl was occasionaly seen. Did not see anything and not sure I believe but it does interest me.

They used to chuck there shit (from a bucket) out of the windows to the street below with a pre warning yell. NICE...

Hence the term "Bucket load of shit"

I lived near there when i was a kid. at one time the roof had caved in after being burnt. The story goes there was a sacrifice on the old alter and the Satanic buggers had hung a crucifix upside down from the ceiling and set it alight. They fled and the roof burnt. You often see a little girl playing amongst the olds tomb stones on the hill, on summer evenings just after sunset.

If you want to get touched up by spirits, do the North Head Quarantine Station tour. Easily the most Haunted and scariest tour youll do...if its still running. Fancy walking through the morgue section, where hundreds of ill immigrants died, getting tapped on the shoulder and turning to find there's nothing there. True story.

The tour guide at St Bartholemews told of a similar story to that Melon.....And I definately smelled 2 totally different scents standing at the little girls grave....

I did not disbelieve anything she told me, but she seems so rehearsed at it that it was not as convincing........

My father in-law did the quarantine station many years ago, and he told of someone touching him.......he is as skeptical as they come......

Yes they still do the tours at North Head but since they made the place into a resort i didn't think the ghost tour was near as good.

I have done the tour 3 times,the first two times many years ago and it was very creepy and full of dread although i didn't experience being touched,the morgue was very unnerving.They did the quarantine station up as a resort/motel a few years ago,i stayed there in June this year,the accomodation was nice and the restuarant was excellent,also in the package the ghost tour was included,this was the only disappointing thing of the stay,they seemed to running a lot more tours during the night and with a lot more people around it seemed a bit rowdy,also some the places we went to on previous tours were shut off so it just didn't seem the same,it was a lot more sanitised and commercial,a bit like Disneyland,the morgue is still one of the places visited.
I did feel spoilt though sitting out on the balcony afterwoods drinking port and watching the Manly ferries criss cross the harbour in the dark.

The Nth Head Quarantine station has 2 tours a general sanitised one and an R Rated version, i assume that would be less sanitised.
