Ghost Stories & Paranormal Encounters

My Experience At Haunted Port Arthur

I have believed in ghosts and paranormal beings for a long time, so it was only natural to go see the supernatural on the port Arthur ghost tour in Tasmania.

The fist encounter was when we headed to the church. My dad said he saw a face in the bell tower, my friend’s sister has also seen a face in the tower.

When we were leaving the church yard I took some pictures. The camera froze on a picture of what looked like two orbs.

We then went to the parsonage. This house is said to be the most haunted part of the tour.

The tour guide then told us about three builders. Two slept in the room with the fire place, the other slept in the mail room. The apprentice was sleeping in the fire room, when he started having a fit. The man woke up, thinking the apprentice was having a bad dream so he went to wake him up. Something was lying atop of the young fellow choking him. The man called his friend, together they freed the lad, and spent the rest of the night outside.

My dad works at Port Arthur, restoring the old buildings. He was painting the mail room. He had a large lamp in the same room that the boy was attacked, drying the freshly painted wall. It was in the same corner as the apprentice was almost killed. Three times dad heard the lamp crash, but every time he went in to have a look it was standing up.

I’d love to tell you more but maybe another time. This is all true, no lies.
