Australia has many tales of horror and mystery, along with some of these stories, are ghosts that accompany them.
Here are a few of the scariest ghost stories in Australia's history
Episode 1
- Lighthouse Keepers Curse
David Gow was a lighthouse keeper, at many of the lighthouses on Australia's New South Wales Coast, He lost 3 of his children to illness whilst at different lighthouse stations, The most notable was that of Lydia Gow, his 17 year old daughter, while residing at the South Solitary Lighthouse off the coast of Coffs Harbour.
It was notable as when she died, because there was no ability to bury her on the island, her body had to be taken back to the mainland, but due to rough seas and bad weather, it was days before it could be moved.
As a result she was placed in an iron bath tub, with another tub over the top, concreted together, as her casket, awaiting transport back to the mainland.
She was also buried in this way, at Newcastle regions Sandgate Cemetery.
Many have said that they believe Lydia still haunts the South Solitary Lighthouse Island, moving from room to room, touching the hair of a young boy residing there in the 1970's and more recently moving various items around the rooms in front of staff and volunteers...
