Not a Good Day but we got to Shitterton.

 Wow, what an awkward and really weird day.

Firstly the weather varied from 8 degrees to 15 degrees every 15 minutes.

Cloudy - sunny - cloudy - sunny.

We travelled to Burley and got lost because we had no God damned internet for most of the day.

How do you find directions when you cannot get onto the internet to find maps!


We did finally get there and boy it was cold! There was one coffee shop open so we headed in for Dorset Apple Cake and Coffee ( coffee was A+++) we wandered around for a bit and quickly had enough plus we asked a young girl in the coffeeshop how to get to Tintagel and she told us that she had never heard of the place.

OH LORD.

In the car and across the bottom of England we went.

We finally found Shitterton - the beginning of our naughty adventure.

Shitterton consisted of a small turn off which was very easy to miss and a few streets and it all smelt a little of fresh poop while we were there!!??


So, we took photos and headed out to find the Cerne Giant.

It was about an hour to get to him and by that time it was FREEZING.

The wind was up and there was no way we could really record anything worthwhile. 

But, we tried.

It's hilarious.


It was so cold that we could not hold the cameras still and everyone that stopped to look at the naked man with an erect willy, left.

There was just us and a bus load of elderly people, who were not allowed to get out of the bus, sat sipping their cups of tea and looking at a man with a hard on.

Then a huge drive to Tintagel (yes, we found it) by which stage it was raining, cold and all the shops were now closed.

We crawled in and were shown our room - all good but the toilet was positioned so close to the wall that anyone with an sort of weight on them would have had to sit down with only one cheek on the toilet seat as the other was not going to fit.

But, it was time to sort out what the hell was going on with our phones.

Finally we worked out that the numbers had to be authorised and that we only had one of the small cards with an authorisation number as the other one was thrown out by the girl that had served Anne at the airport. Tomorrow we need to find a shop to rectify it.

It looks like it it is still windy we will not be going over to the ruins as we will not be able to cross via the walkway. 

So, we will visit the old cemetery on the blustery hilltop and go shopping.

We are so tired we are not even getting dinner tonight.

It will be an early night and we will try for a better day tomorrow.

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.             A memorial to Dale Dickens on the Lemon Tree Passage Road / Pic: Robert Mckell Source:The Daily Telegraph The  Lemon Tree Passage ghost  first made headlines in 2010 after drivers cau

Diary of a Ghost Hunter - Lochinvar House in the Hunter Valley NSW

 I have just spent a weekend at the historic homestead - Lochinvar House, just outside of Lochinvar in the NSW Hunter Valley. This was, for me, a team bonding opportunity and a chance to get away from worries associated with Covid. It was also where members of my ghost hunting volunteers got to head onto this site before we invited in the public, to check out the stories of ghosts and alleged hauntings. Now, as usual, not all historic houses are haunted. And even more intriguing, it seems that not all historic houses are haunted for all the families that live therein. Many times I have heard this - one family may experience seeing and hearing strange things happening at all hours of the day and night. Yet, another family will move in and.....nothing! And so it is.. Why is it like this? I don't know. Do the ghosts pick us? Lochinvar House was built back in the late 1820's by Leslie Duguid who was granted a enormous amount of land in 1822. He was one of the first land owners in N
