Chills chills CHILLS!
First off, the area is stunning. We took the ferry to Manly and did the 30~ minute walk to the q station reception. The bus picked us up and took us down to the wharf (so we didn't have to do the 15 minute staircase) and we got a drink at the bar. The bartender was very friendly.
The tour kicked off right on time, and immediately upon entering the luggage room I started to feel like something else was with us.
Our guide, Chris, was great. He was an amazing story teller and had all of the information. There's so much history here!
The next stop was the shower hall, and it was almost too much for me. We then went to a gas chamber and I saw the most clear image of a man near the wall and started feeling dizzy.
The walk up to the hospital is slightly steep, but is not too long. And we encountered a couple possums on the path. But the view from the hospital over the harbour is stunning.
In the first room at the hospital, I thought I saw my friend in the corner of my eye, but she was on the other side. I realized I was seeing someone in white, but also had the impression of a nuns habit. So imagine my shock when we moved into the second room and the nurse outfit on display was white and the guide discussed a lady spirit that was very religious and sometimes wore a nuns habit.
There were some other feelings I got in that room that then were justified by the guide explaining some of the things he and other guests have seen/felt.
As we moved on to the final stop, the morgue, I still felt the same presence as the first stop. But once inside the morgue it was overwhelming in a bad way to me so I had to stand outside the doorway while he finished discussing the location.
The feeling from the first location stayed with me until our car crossed the bridge and was over the water heading back to Sydney. When both my friend and I felt something brush against her arm and the back of my head and we immediately felt different/lighter/colder.
Skeptics beware, but if you go in with an attitude of not trying to explain the unexplainable and generally expecting to be entertained you'll have an interesting time. read more
