A big fat thank you!

Its been a big first year for Newcastle Ghost Tours and we have many people to thank for our success.
First and foremost our husbands who have involuntarily supported us financially this whole year. We PROMISE to try and make some money to "take home" in 2012 instead of spending all of yours...really we do.
To the rest of the family who have survived without us being at home on many, many nights and many nights of uncooked meals, many days of unwashed clothes and dirt piling up in the every corner of the house and lots and lots of " honey, please can you do me a favor" requests.
Big thanks go to Angela and Kirstin from Boo Paranormal who were dedicated members of the team for much of this year and for their support on tours and investigations. We wish them the best of luck with their personal ventures in the new year.
To our ghost hunting colleagues who supported us on SO many tours like Gail, Kim, Ken, Deb and Rochelle -to name but a few- and everyone who came along to our tours and investigations this year.
Special thanks to Murray ( "Unexplained Australia" and has been doing this for a very long time ) and Michelle for their support out at "Apparitions" at Raymond Terrace.
Also to Louise at Goulburn Ghost Tours who has been such a big supporter all year long - big hugs mate!
Then we have Newcastle City Council and the team including Brent and Simon and those that trusted us at the "LOCK UP" and MISS PORTER'S HOUSE as well as the volunteers from Minmi and West Wallsend Cemeteries.
To Gionni Di Gravio from the Uni at Newcastle who gave of his time to talk to us right at the very beginning and Carla at "CIELO" for allowing us to stay a whole night at her premises and hold an investigation.
To the staff at MONET'S past and present and also a special thanks to PAT the Barman at the United Serviceman's Club - all of whom opened their hearts and gave two middle aged sheila's a go!
Also thanks to TROY from Morpeth Ghost Tours who listened to my thoughts and gave me some really good advice on so many occassions.
So...we also would like to thank all of those people who shall remain nameless but who made our life somewhat more difficult than it should have been.
To those that managed to put us down, gossiped and told people that we what we do is a load of shit - we also thank you ....because you just made us want to work harder and keep more focused on delivering the "best shit" we possibly can.
Business is a bitch - friends come and go and in most cases everyone is just trying to have a decent, fair go - there is plenty of opportunity for everyone.
We wish you all a most wonderful and prosperous New Year for 2012.
Dont be a stranger - keep following us on facebook and join us on a tour soon.
Much love to you all from Renata and Diana at Newcastle Ghost Tours.
We wish you some PIFFLE AND BOSH this Christmas.

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...

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 h...

A Peculiar Fascination for Haunted Places - Quarantine Station Manly, Sydney

Perched on the rocky cliffs of North Head, overlooking Sydney Harbour, lies one of Australia's most historic and eerie sites: the Quarantine Station at Manly. This sprawling complex, now part of the Sydney Harbour National Park, has a rich history that dates back to the early 19th century. It served as a quarantine station for over 150 years, sheltering those who arrived in Sydney with contagious diseases. The Quarantine Station, or "Q Station" as it's now known, is not only a monument to medical history but also a hotspot for ghostly encounters. The Origins of the Quarantine Station The Quarantine Station was established in 1832, during a time when ships arriving in Sydney brought not only new settlers and goods but also deadly diseases. Smallpox, typhus, cholera, and the plague were among the illnesses that posed significant threats to the burgeoning colony. To protect the population, the New South Wales government designated North Head as the site for a quara...
