Not only is Brisbane home to the UFO Research Queensland, an non profit, voluntary association that receives, researches and records UFO sighting, It is also considered one of the most haunted cities by the International Haunted Places Directory.
The directory contends there are ghosts residing in the hallways of many Brisbane institutions like Old Government House, Parliament House, Brisbane Arcade and even Brisbane's City Hall.Allegedly it is not uncommon to see the ghostly figure of an elderly lady from yesteryear wandering the staircases of city Hall or a maintenance man, long departed going up and down in the lift.
Ghost Hunts, of sites that have a history of haunting and paranormal activity, are offered and enable you to spend the night in a haunted house. Assisted by Queensland Paranormal Investigators, you spend an evening conducting a paranormal study to determine if the site is haunted or not.
If you would prefer to go on your own ghoul hunt in Brisbane you should start with the Commissariat Stores, the oldest inhabited building in Queensland. Built in 1829 it is now home to a jar containing two shriveled convict fingertips, the old hanging beam of Boggo Road Gaol and lots of great stories. Built in 1846, Newstead House is Brisbanes oldest surviving residence. It is said that there are several ghost residing here , including a 12 year old girl who enjoys to rearrange shoes. At the Breakfast Creek Hotel a past publican, who is said to have fallen out of the window, has been spotted in the original parts of the hotel. At Plough Inn, Southbank, there are supposedly two ghosts wandering around inside its walls.
You can then take a ferry across to St Helena Island on Moreton Bay, and catch the ghost tour at the convict cemetery. Finally, get deep into Brisbanes murderous past by going on the Mayne Inheritance Tour. Mayne family, one of Brisbanes most influential families with a murder in the midst, is the focus of the tour and a true story as well.
There are a large variation in brisbane hotels , from low key and budget friendly, to extravagant and luxury prices. To find out which brisbane accommodation is suitable for you go to www.brisbaneinformation.com.au.
