Old York Hospital/Asylum

WHY...YOU LOOK LIKE YOU SEEN A GHOST!

There's an old town which has remained the same since the foundings of Australia where buildings are concerned a few hundred kilometers East of the Perth area by the name of YORK. The town is so old it looks run down and useless, but the town folk seem happy enough to stay. Apparently at night the place is a complete ghoul zone where one can see plenty of ghost roaming the streets. That's what I call a ghost town!

But down in old York there is one building in particular which terrible things apparently happen. Strange, ghostly undead things. It is apparently too dangerous for that of the public to even visit anymore as some are said to go in, but few to come out. The shut down York Hospital/Insane Asylum is said to be the worst haunted place in York. Two ghosts apparently reside within the walls of the building and apparently blame humanity for their insane captivity and so punish those who enter their domain.

According to a few police stories an officer brave enough to go in after hearing these stories as a sceptic went in and found dead corpses lying on the floors or in revolting states of torturous positions. The officer was never the same again. The now known Asylum has been shut down forever and closed to the public. But it is feared to be demolished for the thought of the ghosts escaping and wrecking havoc upon old York.

Fremantle Arts Museum

CRAZY GOULS!

Some of you may know of the Fremantle Arts Centre of today, but it wasn't always this. It used to be that of an INSANE ASYLUM (so naturally it gained my interest). The building itself is always cold. There is no air conditioning as it is not needed, even on the hottest of days in summer it's freezing.

It is said that there are three resident ghosts who haunt the building, one of them being a woman who does not venture far from her one walk way, angry and depressed over the loss of her baby child. Poltergeist activity, cold spots, voices and apparitions have all been reported, and it has a reputation of being Western Australia's most haunted building.

After two suspicious deaths before the 1900's became the Asylum shut down. In 1909 it became useful as accomodation for that of homeless women. From 1910-13 it was then a school for MIDWIFERY. In 1942 the building was subject to the American forces as a WARHEADQUARTERS during the world war.

Now days according to staff and visitors, the three ghosts have been sited. The depressed woman mentioned earlier, the psychotic insane male and the playful harmless female. The depressed woman committed suicide by jumping off the first floor of the asylum after admitance for going crazy over her child being kidnapped and possibly eradicated. She wonders the building continuously looking and grieving her lost child. The playful harmless female apparently accidentally killed herself when slipping on a wet floor and falling down a stair well. She was admitted into the asylum because she was just too loco and was friendly with everyone including complete strangers and was seen as a threat to herself. It has been said that people have felt kisses from no-one on their lips, cheeks and other places. This is the work of the playful young lady.

The last of the three ghosts is the male psychotic. Placed in the asylum for being too dangerous to man kind. He often plays tricks on visitors and staff (according to records) via moving inanimate objects or following people and causing paranoia. Random laughing can apparently be heard from some of the halls in the museum, but no-one is there to be laughing, this is the work of the male psychotic, a true loon, yet maybe the ghost of a Joker.

The Fremantle Prison

THOU SHALL RESIDE IN HELL FOR THEIR HEINOUS CRIMES?

The prison that is now shut down and used as a tourist attraction is haunted by the scoundrel souls of the dead criminally insane and sane. Those who were hung there have either moved onto to that of the after life, or rejected from such a place and doomed to walk the corridors of the cells which once contained them. The same fate goes to all who faced the chair when it was in working times, or even those who were unfortunate enough to be faced by the firing squad. It is said to be a sin to commit ones self to suicide, and those who threw themselves off the top floors of the prison and fell to their splattering death either go to the darker side of the after life or remain aswell in the prison.

The night tours are the main attraction as it is the night when ghosts are said to come out. A fun adventure through the prison to take the entire family on, but be aware there will be nightmares to come. The day tours are similar but oh the less creepier and easily taken with cynical thoughts. And now with the new tunnels found, the tunnel tours can easily scare you with the sights of the souls passing through dirt and concrete.

PERSONAL FACT: Almost 20 years ago (1991) the Fremantle prison was shut down. About 2 years before this my father was released from the prison a free man.

The Kalamunda Hotel Ghost

PEEK-A-BOO! It might see you! Or...you might see it. HAHAHA!

It's said that in the hotel of Kalamunda that a female ghost walks among the halls of the elegant hotel. Footsteps and voices and objects moving on their own, it all seems quite the unbelievable. Anyone can say this mumbo jumbo and get away with it really, but unless you see it for yourself you'll never really know.

The story tells that the original and former owner of the Kalamunda Hotel Paddy Connolly was a player of sorts. A real ladies man who never loved, but had fun times (if you know what I mean). But one girl was unlucky enough to be the future care holder of his child. She was only a teenager and had fallen pregnant to this buffoon! So she took the easy way out and threw herself off a balcony and fell to her gruesome death. In failure to have lived her life, she now apparently lays dormant in the hotel. Pacing the halls, toying with the minds of the guests, the long blonde female ghost in a long nightgown is harmless but you'll sh*t bricks when you see her. The cheeky ghost is also a prankster as it is told that she trips of the fire alarm from time to time, and moves around peoples keys or simply follows guests around on the veranda. Some even say they are kissed but there is nothing to be seen kissing them.

A further tale of the story has the young lady suiciding in room 24 of the hotel where none stay for too long. Strange lights and unexplained events happen there. And the hall way is so called, even in the middle of summer. A great place for one with hiccups.

Another tale of the story is of Paddy Conolly himself and his daughter. Tis unfortunate for his daughter to have died in that of the hotel attic, and then further joined after his death. But this version is less popular than that of the dead dame.
