On Saturday 25th of September 2004 my family and I went on a night ghost tour of Port Arthur in Tasmania.
We went into a lot of buildings and the tour guide was telling stories about the each certain place we were in at the time.
When we were walking down the halls of the silent part of the prison something grabbed me around my wrist and was trying to pull me into the cell.
When it happened I was walking past cell 14 which was boarded off because three people, in a time span of 20 years, when walking past had been pulled into the cell.
When people found them they were sitting in the corner rolled into the fetal position. When they were out of the building they were fine.
I was pretty freaked out because something was pulling my wrist between the boards.
I had a big bruise shaped as a hand mark on my wrist for four weeks after.
I love pictures in the stories… that place looks very creepy! I am glad you are OK although I am sure your wrist hurt badly- it took 4 weeks to heal so there had to be deep bruising. I bet the stop the tour on that particular floor eventually.
Cool, I have always wanted to visit Port Arthur – I went to another gaol near Hobart (one of the original ones) and there was one cell in the mens solitary confinement block which gave both me and my mother in law the absolute creeps. My partner didnt notice anything and wanted to go in it; no way was I letting THAT happen – instincts are there to be listened to.
After we went out I read a story in the bookshop where a canadian woman collapsed near that cell and later said that there was something really evil in there :S
