Belfast Ireland - Muff and an Investigation

 We arrived in Ireland the day before yesterday exhausted from travel, plane, airports and then getting to our first night's destination in Belfast.

We had to transfer most of our luggage into one bag and leave the rest with our travel buddy, Gayle so we could guarantee being under the weight restrictions for Ryan Air or the charges are exorbitant.

We made it and when we arrived at our B and B for the evening we knew we have made the right choice.

GWEEBARRA Bed and Breakfast in Holywood is a pure joy for rest and respite. The owner, Tim, is a beautiful soul who has an amazing attention to detail and made sure we had everything we needed for assure comfort.


We met his crazy two year old Labrador Dylan and found out he is also a Medium and so into all the things that we are! A match made in heaven.

We slept from the moment out heads hit those beautiful comfortable pillows.

In the morning our mission was to have breakfast and head to MUFF - our last stop on our Naughty Names Trail.

It was a very long drive from Belfast and we were kind of feeling that we were waiting the day, but we had to complete out planned journey from Shitterton to Muff as promised.

We stopped at the sign welcoming us to the village of MUFF and right next door was an ice cream parlour called NIBBELICIOUS. What you see below is what Anne tried and she guarantees that it was totally delicious from beginning to end.


The next thing was to find a T shirt. We were lucky enough to find a printing shop next to the service station and he grudgingly sold us a few I LOVE MUFF T shirts. 

I got to tell you that he could have asked us for any amount of money and we would have probably obliged but three T shirts for forty pounds was a bit much.

That was it we had enough of MUFF and it was back in the car for the almost two hour drive back.

We then prepared to meet the team of SHADOW HUNTERS Paranormal from Belfast for a night time investigation.



The team at Shadow Hunters run the Ghost Hunting experiences at Crumlin Gaol from October to March and even though they tried to arrange a ghost hunt for us at Crumlin Gaol they could not get permission but w got to meet them at their base camp in an old linen mill in Belfast where they have their own ghosts we could get to know.

So we went over to meet them at about 8.30pm and were introduced to the whole team. Their team is huge (about 20 people) and we fitted in perfectly within minutes. 

They are extremely well organised and meet twice a week to hone their skills and learn to put spit and polish on their techniques and have some fun in their months off from guiding at the Gaol.

The team spread out in the abyss that is the old factory/linen mill.


We had a few experiments set up to take part including the portal, mirror scrying, the Estes experiment, table tipping and planchette scrying.

We had wonderful night learning from each other and sharing a great time.


These guys and gals were so generous and when we come back we will definitely try and catch a tour with them at Crumlin Gaol.

We returned to our bed and breakfast at 1.30 am and fell into bed.

What an awesome night!

Thank you Shadow Hunters!

Title: Haunting History and Ghostly Whispers: The Story of Morisset Insane Asylum

If you’re fascinated by eerie places, spine-chilling ghost stories, and a slice of Australian history, then you’re in for a treat. Today, we’re diving into the intriguing past of one of New South Wales’ most infamous locations – the Morisset Insane Asylum, nestled in the quiet town of Morisset near Newcastle. Ready to uncover its secrets? Let’s go! The Beginning: When and Why Was Morisset Insane Asylum Created? Back in the early 1900s, mental health care was a very different beast from what it is today. In 1908, the Morisset Insane Asylum was established to serve as a psychiatric hospital primarily for patients from the Hunter Region and northern NSW. The government needed a facility to care for those struggling with mental illnesses, and Morisset was chosen for its remote and tranquil setting—ideal, they thought, for healing. The asylum was built with a mix of imposing brick buildings and sprawling grounds. It was designed not just as a hospital but as a self-sufficient commun...

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.             A memorial to Dale Dickens on the Lemon Tree Passage Road / Pic: Robert Mckell Source:The Daily Telegraph The  Lemon Tree Passage ghost  f...

The Haunted History of the Hydro Majestic Hotel: Ghosts in the Mist of the Blue Mountains

Perched on a cliff’s edge at Medlow Bath with sweeping views of the Megalong Valley, the Hydro Majestic Hotel stands as a jewel of Edwardian architecture—and a hotspot for paranormal activity. Known for its luxurious past and distinctive Art Deco charm, this grand hotel also harbours chilling tales of tragic deaths, spectral figures, and eerie encounters that have become part of Blue Mountains folklore. A Brief History of the Hydro Majestic Established in 1904 by retail tycoon Mark Foy, the Hydro Majestic was originally designed as a hydropathic retreat, offering mineral water therapies and strict diets in the European spa tradition. Foy imported marble, mirrors, and even a dome from Chicago, installing them in the now-famous Casino Lobby and Grand Dining Room. Over the decades, the hotel transitioned into a glamorous high-society getaway, hosting politicians, socialites, and international performers. But beneath the glitz, strange events whispered through the hallways—events th...
