Righto, made up a second Skelebones for a birthday. She loved him. So much so that for her birthday celebrations we did a birthday tour and brought Skelebones (his new name) with us. Above we are all chillin' before the tour. Myself (in silver), our ghoulish tour guide, birthday girl-holding the slightly scared Skelebones and finally our never speaking door man. It was a great night with a beautiful meal and drinks at the Yongala Lodge. Skelebones needed some liquid courage. We continued through to the upstair section of the restaurant where 2 or more spirits were supposed to be. Armed with EMF detectors (mine kept going off randomly and it seemed to freak a few of our new found buddies out) we checked out the rooms. Heard the back story of how the Yongala was built and stories of sightings on the verandas and in the rooms. We were also warned not to be last down the stairs or we may get a little help...guess who went last down the stairs. No I can not explain it, yes I did get a little help. Creeped me out.
Next, we were off to the West End Cemetery and heard the many stories of sightings from the little girl called Alice to the lady with the black cat. From their we went to the old convent in a building where the current tenant lives out of only one downstairs room. The rest of the old massive 2 storey house he refuses to go in. As we travelled upstairs we found all the bits a pieces that people have left behind over the past 40 years. Clothes, furniture, toys and even companies paperwork. You can see Skelebones sitting in the old 'prayer room' and holding the EMF on the green chair where a nun apparently sits.
To finish off the tour we went to the old morgue and hospital sights which was creepy. But heard the stories my aunties used to tell me from when they worked on both sights. When I was a kid I thought they were making it up. But, pretty much the tour guide said the exact same thing they did. It was a fun night overall and Skelebones enjoyed his adventure.
