Ghost Hunter or Ghost Provoker?

 The following link may be just an example of the sharing of personal views with regard to conducting private investigations in people's homes, but may I suggest that sometimes we need to be reminded that if we take on this sort of work we should be pretty damned sure that we know what we are doing.
The last thing you want to achieve is to leave a family in greater distress than how you found them.
Legally that is a minefield to deal with and also you are dealing with "real" people who are vulnerable and are assuming that you do know what you are talking about.
Its always giggles and laughs until something really goes wrong...
Beware of those who have been recently bereaved.
Beware of dealing with children.
Beware of dealing with those that may have deeper psychological issues and really require medical intervention.
Beware of walking into someone else's home on you own.
Beware of what you say and how you say it - once said it cannot be taken back. \

    Beyond encountering human and animal abuse,violence, and serious accidents,it's not hard for me to imagine many situations that could place one at risk legally and physically. Know what the heck you are doing and remember that the needs of the living come before the needs of a "ghost."

    At the very least, consider the following quote:

    "Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them." --Daili Lama

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...
