4-hour Ghost Hunt at Paramatta Gaol
I went on a spooky four hour ghost hun at Paramatta Gaol, to seek out the spooky and supernatural. I’ve been on so many ghost tours, I have lost count. Some have been entertaining. Many have produced no paranormal or supernatural experiences. And others, well, they have certainly given me a taste of the other worldly. Check out some of my previous Ghost Tours stories here and here. The one thing I have never experiences, expect through YouTube, watching some of my favourite channels who explore some of the most haunted placed around the world, mostly the UK and the USA, I have never myself been on a ghost hunt.…

Have You Ever Been to Little Bay?
Located around thirty minutes south of Sydney is a cute little beach gem called Little Bay. It’s a secret place that not a lot of people have heard about. And those who have, have either never been, or go often and prefer not to tell anyone about it. But it’s not just a beach, it’s a place of historical reference for Sydney, which hold a past unbeknown to most people. The Little Bay area was first used as a sanitation camp during Sydney’s smallpox outbreak in 1881–82, to isolate the healthy contacts of sufferers of the disease.
