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...

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...

RICHMOND GAOL - A STONE COLD START

Nestled in the picturesque town of Richmond, about 25 km northeast of Hobart, Richmond Gaol is Australia’s oldest intact colonial gaol—built between 1825 and 1840 using convict labor  Initially erected as a courthouse in 1825 (just a year after Richmond was proclaimed a village), it gradually expanded over 15 years to include a cookhouse, men’s and women’s wings, solitary confinement cells, and a surrounding sandstone wall by 1840  . 🛏️ Facilities & Daily Life: Cold Stone, Brutal Rules The Layout & Buildings include a Men’s wing, chain-gang sleeping rooms, holding rooms, a cookhouse, flogging yard, privy, and the only surviving example of a female solitary cell in Tasmania  Solitary Cells These notorious cells measure just 2 m × 1 m—dark, utterly confined, and completely silent. A bucket and a thin blanket were the only company, with bread and water for nourishment. Prisoners spent up to 21 days inside, forbidden even to speak. For us today even spending an hour confi...
