What is Piffle and Bosh?

Stay with me on this one - you will find out the significance of the number 61 soon!!!
It's a proud moment and I really want to share it!!!

Would you believe that I had never head of the words 'piffle' and 'bosh' until the day I woke up with them in my head?

That was the first day of my first paranormal blog post.

PIFFLE - means 'nonsense', 'rubbish'. It's a noun that tends to make something less important, small, inconsequential.

BOSH - means 'rubbish' 'silliness'. It comes from a Turkish word meaning empty.😊😊

So, it's quite interesting, and spooky, that I was led to to take on these two unknown words that, in effect, mean the same thing, when I did not know them in the first place.

But, what I was trying to do was to create something that mirrored my writing style, random bites, stories that attracted me to them, slices of history, interesting facts and my own adventures and put them together to make some quick, spicy, spooky and interesting reading without being overloaded with facts and statements and all about my most beloved topic - THE PARANORMAL.

After all, the best stories, are always filled with just a little bit of PIFFLE, aren't they.

Well, it seems, that there are some people who DO LIKE my stories, as I have been honoured with a place in the TOP 100 Paranormal blogs in the world.

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.

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...
