Brisbane has been called many things in its time, but haunted is probably not a common classification. Yet one paranormal enthusiast believes our sleepy little town is a hotbed of ghostly activity.
Strange noises, chilling wails, unexplained lights captured on film and bumps in the night are apparently common occurrences at dozens of locations across South-East Queensland.Historic buildings like Old Government House and City Hall send a shiver up the spine of Lianna Turner, who researches and documents paranormal oddities. This impressive mansion, located inside the grounds of the Queensland University of Technology in the city, was built to accommodate the state's first Governor.
It was used right up until the construction of the current Government House in Bardon. While exploring Old Government House, Ms Turner explained that the mansion was one of her "main haunts" (no pun intended) because of its active paranormal atmosphere. Over several years she has amassed a vast collection of photoghraphs documenting her exploration of the house. Many contain strange lights and "orbs" that Ms Turner believes represent ghostly beings and spirits.
The term "orb" is the popular name given to anomalies that appear in photographs or video, and are thought by some to be paranormal phenomenon. Others believe orbs are little more than flash reflection from dust particles. On the second floor of Old Government House, just to the right of the top of the staircase, is an anonymous-looking door with a glass feature panel.
Inside is a steep, wooden staircase that leads to the attic. A member of staff from QUT, who accompanied us on the tour, said that the door was frequently found to be locked from the inside. Staff had to remove a panel of glass so the door could be unlocked. On the day of our visit the door had again been locked from the inside. There is no secondary access to this room. Just around the corner is a large room that was once the home's day nursery. As we rounded a dark and musky corridor, the door to the room blew open. Inside, the three doors that led out onto the balcony were open and blowing wildly in the wind.
