Let me introduce you to.......

Lets go on a journey..
This one will mean that you have to come back as I am creating this one as we go.
Just a bit of pulling together scattered thoughts right now and getting serious about compiling some of the knowledge that I have learnt along the way.




Chapter One - Introduction
I am gathering that because you have picked up this little thread because you have an interest in ghosts right?
Of course you do!
Most of us have been bought up of a diet of horror movies and ghost stories and now that we have You Tube and the internet you can while away the hours looking at dodgy photo shopped ghost photos and amateur investigative teams ghost videos to your heart’s content.



Believe me – you are not the only guilty one – so have I.
But what is real and what is faked?
That's the million dollar question.
Some are incredibly real at first glance.
Personally, I load everything that I have not seen with my own eyes or felt with my own goosy hair standing on end skin into the “I’m just not sure” basket.
Having an experience is such a subjective thing.
It is only through personal experiences, or lack of, that we make our minds up on what we are prepared to believe or don’t.
Often it will take something quite monumental to shake our belief tree and get us to ponder another way of looking at something that just happened which we would consider beyond normal.
I have certainly come across those individuals that will not be swayed on their beliefs on demons, orbs or aliens for example no matter how strong the evidence to the contrary might be regarding their personal experiences - but this is not about telling you what I think is right or wrong or faked or real.
Goodness I have been proven wrong on so many occasions! I prefer not to be an expert - thats just too much pressure.
For me its all about the chase, the hope and desire for the next great paranormal experience.
I am open to having the crap scared out of me as long as I can benefit out if it in some way. As long as my knowledge is extended by that next encounter, that next piece in my own personal puzzle, I will keep this madness going.
To me the world is a never ending place of mystery and marvel and I am so glad that I am on this particular journey and have been for the part 50 years.
The best is yet to come!


                                                  This show used to give me nightmares!!

What I would like to do is introduce you to some current and old fashioned information about ghosts, apparitions, spectres or whatever you might like to call them. To those who are venturing here for the first time then...this might be all new to you.
For those seasoned and maybe somewhat jaded fellow ghost watchers there may be a little bit here to interest you but you may also fine me covering the same old ground. Do not despair! 
In my old counseling days I was taught that listening to other people's opinion can actually consolidate and strengthen your own whether it be for or against a particular subject.
So if I annoy you enough it will mean that you will go out and find your own truth and I really like that idea - you certainly dont have to believe in mine.
Like I have said though, you can learn something new from just about everybody so hang on to your hats for “A Cosmic Journey contemplating the Facts about Ghosts thus far According to No One in Particular but Everyone in General” BOOK 1.

( more to come - give me time, great geniuses need space!)

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...

Haunted Gladesville Asylum

In the dead of night on Sydney’s Parramatta River, an abandoned asylum sits cloaked in darkness – Gladesville Mental Hospital, once known as Tarban Creek Lunatic Asylum. The History of Gladesville Mental Hospital Gladesville Mental Hospital’s story begins in colonial Sydney with lofty ideals and grim realities. Opened in 1838 as the Tarban Creek Lunatic Asylum, it was Australia’s first purpose-built mental hospital. The site – aptly located at Bedlam Point on the river – was initially designed by Colonial Architect Mortimer Lewis and meant to house just 60 patients in humane conditions. Early superintendents like Dr. John Thomas Digby and later Dr. Frederick Norton Manning sincerely aimed to “treat” rather than merely confine the mentally ill. Manning in particular, after studying overseas, condemned the asylum’s original “prison-like” atmosphere and worked to minimize restraints and improve diets and recreation by the 1870s. In 1869 the name was changed from “Lunatic Asylum” to Gla...

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...
