London beautiful London!

London is a city that is worth much more time than we gave it.
It is a city that requires time and patience to explore.
Time because of the bad traffic congestion and allowing yourself at least twice as long to get somewhere to see something and patience because of the crowds that are never ending.
So to say that I only saw a small portion of what was on my to do list is an understatement.
I did manage to get to the Tower of London.

I managed to arrive early and that allowed me some quiet time to explore before the crowds started to wander in and reduce the tower to a thoroughfare for a sea of humanity.

Each tower had its secrets and uniqueness - most of the areas had succumbed to fires and destruction through simple collapse or because of war so most has been rebuilt over the years.

I found it hard to focus with a thousand screaming French and German students pushing and shoving passed me on the stairs but certainly the atmosphere of the ages that the Tower has stood required respect and honor.

The armory was for me one of the most interesting places in the Tower complex.
The different suits of armor, the canons, weapons and also the axe that beheaded a number of people was quite astounding.

The Tower is supposed to hold a number of ghosts - I would think they would be hiding in the corners until all the tourists leave. I f I was one of them that's what I would be doing. I would relish going through the Tower after everyone had left. Although I would think it a place of extreme emotion and quite scary.

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 hotel was only

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.

The Ghosts of Prince Henry Hospital and Little Bay

I am a ghost hunter. I explore and research and love to find myself being excited by stories of ghosts and haunted sights. Each story has its place in our collective consciousness and deserves to be heard and felt. Prince Henry Hospital, although long closed, remains a place that is greatly loved by so many nurses and patients and is now run by volunteers who keep its history alive. I began my involvement here abut three years ago when I was asked by Oz Para Tech (www.ozparatech.com) to join them in a public demonstration of ghost hunting for one of their open days. Let me share some history first.. This is a brief history of the Coast Hospital in relation to it being a hospital devoted to infectious diseases. It was established to deal with a growing epidemic of smallpox in Sydney on September 5, 1881, and the site of Little Bay was chosen because of it's isolation from Sydney's population, its sweeping coastal view
