Every experience is an experience..

Every small experience one has with what is perceived to be outside the realm of the normal is something to be considered, pondered and appreciated even if we just think of it as just a curious anomaly. Each of us has different views on what is paranormal and what is a profound experience for one person may be looked at as total piffle for someone else.
I try and stay open minded to everyone's personal experiences as I know, that as much as I might want to be believed when something happens to me, so does everyone else.
So therefore if you come to talk with me and say that you have experienced something bizarre, unusual, paranormal I will believe what you say. I will also try to look for rational explanations, I will look for influences of the mind , drugs and alcohol. I will look for environmental explanations and the influences of others as some people find joy in explioting another's vulnerability.
But, in some cases, as much as I might look for another reason..there is none.... other than ..it can not be satisfactorily explained by conventional means.
And that brings with it for me joy and delight.It means that we still have plenty to find out and to hypothesis about and to investigate to tear down and to find awsomeness in!
Once we know..all of this will lose its intrigue and maybe we will no longer be interested any more and then all of our ghostly friends will be very upset.They will miss our need for interaction.
It is in the subtelty of this world where the magic lies. The nuances, the mystery, the discovery, the optimisim that there is more and that it is mind blowing.
That is what I like..therefore I am happy at not knowing it all and never becoming an expert but always being a student, for tomorrow I may learn something new that may change everything for me..
yet again.

Diary of a Ghost Hunter - The Wallacia Hotel

We were given the opportunity of staying overnight at the Wallachia Hotel in Western Sydney. The hotelwas officially opened on December 3rd 1937. During the Second World War the hotel was used as the Army headquarters for radiopyhysics. I had never been to the Wallacia Hotel before, but, my ghost hunting gal pal Anne, had been there about 5 years ago with a group of Paranormal Investigators that she was working with at the time. We arrived and we were greeted by Craig, the night manager, who welcomed us with open arms. Craig recognised Anne from the last time she had visited. Anne asked whether any spooky things had been happening over the last few years. Craig said that he always thought that there was something a little bit weird going on late at night. Over the last few months everything had changed as the Hotel had been very much affected by the COVID lock downs This was a huge hotel with quite an interesting history even though in the whole scheme of things the hotel was only

Lemon Tree Passage Ghost - Local legend is alive and well

Lemon Tree Passage is a suburb of the Port Stephens local government area in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia, located at the end of the Tilligerry Peninsula and surrounded by the waters of beautiful Port Stephens . Ever since I can remember there have been a few urban legends about a stretch of highway named Lemon Tree Passage Road. The story begins when a motor bike rider and his pillion passenger died after colliding with a four wheel drive killing both. This seems to be the source of the ghostly lights and apparition. These sort of events don't stay quiet in small townships. Stories spread fast often not ending up like they started. Every so often this urban legend makes a comeback with a number to people tempting fate and poking the ghost rider.

Chasing the Ghost of Annie Egan at Q Station Manly

Last weekend I was asked to be a special guest investigator at Q Station Manly at the Paranormal Investigator Tour starting at 10pm to 2am, with Anne and Roman Rzechowicz from Oz Para Tech . Oz Para Tech run these intensive and immersive nights every two months, as well as being able to organise private investigation tours on the site for small groups. I have been to Q a few times now and am always thrilled to investigate. This time I found myself elbow deep in research as stories opened up to me about some of the doctors and nurses that spent time at the Quarantine Station. I was initially chasing some photos that I could show as part of my bit on the tour, but I found myself following one certain female nurse whose face I found staring back at me from the National Archives collection. The North Head Quarantine Station is situated on Sydney Harbour, at North Head near Manly. To protect Australia’s early settlers from ship-borne disease and epidemics, it was established in
