Read Great Australian Ghost Stories Storyline:
From gore-spattered convicts and elegant women out of our colonial past to the mysterious ghost lights of the outback and angry poltergeists that wreak havoc on modern homes, Australia seems to be teeming with the restless spirits of our ancestors. You′ll meet a wide cross section of them in this far-reaching collection of stories drawn from all the Australian states and covering two centuries of our nation′s history. Some ghosts are vengeful, some aloof, others mysterious, sad, kind, wistful or amusing, but all share one quality - they′re scary - and their stories are hair-raising.You′ll join a terrified young couple on a Ferris wheel when a spectre appears inside their cage, you′ll learn about Australia′s most famous ghost and visit Australia′s most notorious haunted house where icy hands gripped the throats of unsuspecting visitors. You′ll meet a ghost made famous by Henry Lawson, discover what ′the haunted dunny′ means to the people of a village in the Barossa Valley and share in the terror of a medical student when a cadaver comes back from the dead and takes up residence in the student′s laptop. So, dear reader, if you have the courage, make sure the doors and windows are locked, settle in your favourite chair, keep a blanket handy (for when your blood runs cold) and join Richard Davis on this remarkable journey behind the veil that separates the mortal from the eternal - right here in our own back yard.Pages of Great Australian Ghost Stories :
