ghost stories and sightings from Mount Darling

[mat elvins]

This first one is a story. A friend of mine was working on his farthers farm on Mount Darling. He was on his way to the truck when he noticed in the house near where he was working that the light was on. Any way he went tand turned it off as all bush people do the house and the room was empty.

he went inside switched the light off and as he turned around to leave a voice loud and right behind him yelled " AND GET OUT OF HERE".

THE END


The second ghost i know of is on Mount Darling To......it is ment to be a headless woman walking a creek bed the rumer is that she was killed by her husband. aparently there is always strange noises in the area.

Reminds me of 2 close relatives of mine building a house on Blue Pool road Evans Head in the early 80's. While building a new house on a property that he had just bought noises could be heard coming from the existing old cottage 20 or so metres away that both of them heard many times, and no one there. Early one morning the relative that owned the place got up (still in the old house) to go out and water the garden. He saw a male "ghost" sitting on the front step and as he walked passed him to go outside said " Morning " to it ! The apparition just looked up at him and disappeared. Both of these guys were in there 60's at the time and were old bushies that had been around. Straight laced , to the point and not ones for BS.

Interestingly this was just down the road , by about 200 metres or so from one of the Yowie reports on this site, or so I gather from the description the guy gave of his scrap collecting encounter. Also not too far from my own couple of odd experiences in the area.

Also the Bundjalung National Park area on the southern side of the Evans River was a freaky place to be around when younger, and was supposedly "haunted" or something. An old aboriginal area it was and I believe there may have been a massacre there in the old times. Dont know where I heard/saw that from though.

The more I think about it the more it seems quite an interesting little area of NSW

Hey Rastus,

Yes, I have camped at Bundjalung National Park too, and had heard the massacre story too, though I didn't feel anything odd. Could have been in a 'good' area though, the place is massive, and was used extensively by the Army for shelling practice in the 60's.

Some info here though about an unfortunate piece of our history:

I remember us finding a really nice almost untouched army shell, still with paint and stubby little tailfins, and propping it up by the fire for the week we camped there. Don't worry, we checked it was hollow and had no explosives inside, otherwise we would have run very quickly away from it when we found it in the sand dunes!
