The Toowong Experience
Rate this encounter:
Kevin, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, August 2, 2008
This just happened to me a few weeks back and still puzzles me. I decided to
take a ghost tour of a Brisbane boneyard called Toowong, the biggest and
oldest graveyard in Queensland. I was excited that at last I'm undertaking a
ghosty tour of a supposed haunted cemetery. Anyway we all met up and went
into the boneyard where we were introduced to our hostess. As she was
talking, I was standing taking this all in when I thought I saw someone or
some
thing standing on the road dressed in black, observing us (don't
you love that word: "observing"). I was surprised as the bloody tour barely
even started and already I saw something. As we moved on, we passed the spot
where I saw that black thing when, all of an sudden, two very loud clangs,
as if someone banged two tin bin lids together right at my ear,
banged
loudly, scaring the bejesus out of me. I swung my torch around but... nope
nothing. All that time during the tour, I felt something was following us
and I'm never wrong in knowing someone is following me. I had many
experiences where I knew and saw the person sneaking up on me. Anyway, the
tour finished and we all went home. I went back New South Wales where I
live, but something followed me back. Fair dinkum, for two nights something
was in my bedroom. It stroked my neck, I felt it and strummed my guitar
then... no more... haven't heard it or felt it. I don't know whether I'd
imagined all of this, but it was a strange experience. And I've witnessed
the supernatural many-a times for I've lived in a haunted house and worked
in a haunted department store, but those are stories for maybe another time.
