I saw a UFO

 Well this weekend saw me get back in the saddle and run my first tour after my Covid episode and I'm really very surprised at how tired I am. Seems that the illness did sap my energy more than I had anticipated!

Tonight it was raining and we had a full house at the Gaol.

We had a great group of lovely people who had a wonderful time.

There was a delightful gentleman who stayed behind to tell me that he had lived in a haunted house many years ago, somewhere in outback NSW.

He told me where but I had never heard of that place so I cannot remember.



He told me that once a year his house would become very overcome by high strangeness with lights turning on and off that would not work at any other time of the year. Cupboards would open and close and things would go flying and footsteps would be heard walking around.

This was the day the old guy world return to the house where he had killed his wife.

This day. very year, was not the day he committed the murder - it was the day the Police shot him dead when they came for him.

Then he told me another story.

The day when he saw a UFO.

He was heading out to an area around NOWRA in NSW when he and his friend saw a bright light hovering above their car and then head over to a small tree filled area to his right hand side - thats when he saw the UFO landing.

He asked his friend to pull off the road so he could take a closer look and his friend said, "No way!" and kept driving.

This was pretty incredible. Maybe I can find out more about it.

So I thought I'd look for the story as he said that that night 30,000 people reported seeing the UFO.

I found this one. It's the only reference I have found that probably fits the time frame, I will have to do some more research - 1955 near Nowra, NSW (Noel Martin's 1982 "UFO Recovery" saga).

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...
