Have you ever seen, heard or felt something that cannot be rationally explained?

Australia is troubled by the departed spirits of convicts, bushrangers, drovers, nurses and miners. People have seen spectres in pubs, theatres, lighthouses, asylums, and by lonely waterholes.

There are locations in the bush that send a shiver down your spine, as well as some truly perplexing phenomena such as the Spirit Stones of Mayanup, Quinn's Light, the Guyra Ghost, the Humpty Doo haunting and the Min Min lights. Master storyteller Graham Seal recounts the sinister legends of ghost towns, blasted mines, and other ill-omened places. He has uncovered the histories behind the most haunted sites in Australia, our Bermuda Triangle, the convict era ghosts still troubling the Hawkesbury River, phantom ships, and gruesome unsolved crimes which have left unsettled spirits.

Uncanny experiences are regularly reported even by people who usually don't believe in such things. Whether they are real or not, our ghosts exist most powerfully in the stories we tell about them. We've been frightening ourselves with these yarns for a long time.
