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...

A Peculiar Fascination with Ghosts - the Colosseum in Rome

The Colosseum, or the Flavian Amphitheatre as it was originally known, is a marvel of ancient engineering and a symbol of the grandeur of the Roman Empire. Construction began under Emperor Vespasian in AD 72 and was completed in AD 80 by his successor, Titus. This monumental arena could hold between 50,000 and 80,000 spectators, all eager to witness the thrilling—and often brutal—spectacles that took place within its walls. The Colosseum was the stage for gladiatorial contests, public executions, and dramatic reenactments of famous battles. Its vast underground complex, known as the hypogeum, housed gladiators, animals, and prisoners who awaited their fate in the arena above. The bloodshed and violence that occurred here have left an indelible mark on history, and it's no surprise that many believe the Colosseum is haunted by the spirits of those who met their end in its arena. From the ghostly cries of gladiators to the spectral figures seen roaming the corridors, the Col...

The South Shields Poltergeist: When a Haunting Turns Hostile

In 2006, the town of South Shields in Tyne and Wear, England, became the unlikely setting for one of the most aggressive and bizarre hauntings ever reported in the UK. This was not a centuries-old legend passed down in whispers. This was recent, documented, and witnessed by multiple people — including seasoned paranormal investigators. The events that took place in this modest red-brick terraced house defied logic, challenged belief systems, and terrified everyone involved. A Normal Family… Until It Wasn’t The haunting began quietly — as these things often do. The couple at the center of the story, who have remained largely anonymous and are referred to by pseudonyms Marc and Marianne, lived in the home with their young son, just three years old at the time. Their lives were ordinary — until one night in December 2005, things began to unravel. It started with a simple but unnerving incident: a child’s rocking horse was found inexplicably moved across the room. At first, Marc and M...
