Tasmania is one of the few places in the world in which the history of the past 200 years is still intact. That history is not a particularly happy history, for it involves the setting up of a penal colony, the brutalisation of a so-called "criminal class", and the near-genocide of the indigenous Aboriginal race. This book is a deadly serious look at Tasmanian folklore and facts of spooks, species and things that go bump in the night!!!

A collection of interesting ghost tales and stories of the unknown. The turbulent past of Tasmania seems to have inspired many tales of the unknown, and given the main ingredients for such stories: cruelty, murder, alienation, sudden death and suicide there has been ample scope for such stories. Many of the entries in this book rely upon the newspaper articles which appeared over the past 10 to 15 years. Contains a haunted localities index.

Australia’s Haunted History is a collection of spine-tingling, blood-curdling, frightening and often mysterious Australian paranormal tales from throughout our country’s turbulent past. Many of these historical accounts of spectral hauntings and strange happenings were documented in early Australian newspapers and have been accurately transcribed in the pages of this book. These ghostly sightings will challenge even the most ardent sceptic. Many of these chilling events remain largely unexplained to this day. Murder and mayhem, mystifying mysteries, haunted houses, ghostly goldfields, shocking tragedies, pestering poltergeists, strange and bizarre happenings – they are all included. Many of the historical ghost tales in this book have been forgotten through the passing of time. Australia’s Haunted History will bring these creepy tales back to life and spark the imagination of a new generation to ask that poignant question, are ghosts real? Old favourites have not been overlooked and several tales of well-known Australian ghosts are included. If you love a good ghost story, Australia’s Haunted History will keep you entertained for hours. But be careful, after reading this book you may need to sleep with the light on!

Australia has a rich history of ghost sightings and spooky tales, from the time of European settlement until today - and they are all here in GREAT AUSTRALIAN GHOST STORIES. 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.
