For anyone contemplating a Weird Sydney Ghost and History Tour on Saturday 3rd March, we regret that we will not be able to operate that night due to road closures for the Mardi Gras. However the Weird Parramatta Ghost and History Tour will be running that night with up to 3 hearses travelling to the Asylum, the Catholic Cemetery, the former Children’s Orphanage and more! For those not resident in the Parramatta area, but still interested to do the tour, a free pick up and return service from Sydney CBD will be available. More details at http://www.destinytours.com.au/parramatta.htm
After 6 years in this business it is time for me to move on. Destiny Tours is now for sale, serious enquiries on this fun and unique business can be directed to me.

“Don’t leave the best ride of your life till last”
Over the years since the infamous battle, stories of scores of sightings, stranger than reality, have emerged from the quaint houses and gentle fields in and around the town of Gettysburg: Stories of sightings of soldiers, moving again in battle lines, across the fields where they once marched… and died; tales of visions through a rip in time into the horrible scene of a Civil War hospital; whispers of a look at men long dead held eternally captive by duty. These apparitions - and more - come back to remind us, in one way or another that they are not to be forgotten for what they did here…
In 1994, Mark Nesbitt started the first ghost walk in Gettysburg, The Ghosts of Gettysburg Candlelight Walking Tours®. Armed with tales from his ghost books - and with a few that are not in the books-guides dressed in period attire take visitors on evening tours through sections of town that were bloody battlefields 13 decades ago; through night-darkened streets to houses and buildings where it is not as quiet as it should be; to sites on the old Pennsylvania College campus where the slain once lay in rows, and the wounded suffered horribly, waiting to become corpses themselves; to cemeteries where the dead lie… sometimes not so peacefully. Gettysburg may very well be, acre for acre, the most haunted place in America. (Read more…)

Here’s our story: When we (Chuck and Joy Hanson) bought the Mason House Inn Bed and Breakfast in Bentonsport, Iowa in 2001, we were told there was an old lady ghost in the south room on the 3rd floor. But if we left her alone, she would leave us alone. That did not bother us and we just use that room as storage and keep the door closed. But soon after we moved in, we noticed things going on and felt
things and then started seeing things that led us to believe there was more than just the one old lady. Our guests would tell us things they saw and felt and heard and I started keeping a journal of the reports. (Read more…)
iexploreghosts.com - was started as a hobby like all my websites. I find a good ghost story, and the history behind most of these castles, plantations, mansions, and reputed haunted houses quite fascinating.
