Girl’s ghost haunts Ourimbah pub

YOU may think it’s a tall story from Tall Timbers, but staff at the historic Ourimbah pub are convinced it has a resident ghost.

Operations manager Nick Haersch, whose parents own the hotel, said every staff member, past and present, had stories to tell of hearing activity from the ghost of a young girl believed to have drowned in the hotel well in the early 1900s.

“We have a well in the cellar of the hotel where we keep the kegs,” Mr Haersch said.

“The story goes that a young girl drowned in the well.

“Pretty much every staff member here has a story to tell, either seeing her at night or hearing footsteps and giggling.

“It happens so often that we can’t pass it off as anything else.”

Mr Haersch said the staff’s favourite story was of a bartender cleaning who noticed one of the beer taps turn on by itself.

She saw a smoky apparition near the beer taps and hotel staff captured the incident on camera.

“That story freaked me out,” Mr Haersch said.

“At the end of the day, though, she’s not unfriendly and we’ve all gotten used to it.

“The weird things happen nearly every night - always when we’ve closed up and it’s quiet.

“I really believe a young girl drowned in the well and can’t leave; there’s another story that her father drowned her but we don’t know which one is true.

“We’ve tried everywhere to find out more about the drowning with no success.”
