Ghosts roaming in Australian Parliament
|
THERE is the ghostly man who walks through the floor, a silent horse drawn carriage out the front and down the road a baby cries at night. Anyone who claims there is no spirit left in the New South Wales Parliament should try spending a night there alone, The Daily Telegraph reports.
Once a hospital complete with a morgue, Parliament House is giving up its ghostly secrets for a new history project.
Most staff have a tale of a shadowy figure in the corridor, lights flickering or a strange tap on the shoulder out of thin air.
And down the road at Government House the stories are even more terrifying.
The most common include a baby that cries in the night from under the building, shadowy soldiers out the front on misty mornings and an old woman in a rocking chair in one room.
The old morgue under the theatrette at Parliament, which is preserved but bricked up, is considered by some to be the source of the ghosts.
Education staff will compile the tales in a new bulletin named The Ghosts And Ghost Stories of Parliament House.
One parliamentary staffer said: "A guy was here late one night and there was a hand on his shoulder, he turned around and there was no one there.
