Has anyone been on any?
I've been to 3 at the Quarantine station at Manly
1 at Port Arthur
And last night marked by 4th at Picton
I sent an email to the people who own Picton tours, telling them of our experiences last night:
The tour ended with a visit to the Shire Hall in which we were allowed to wander around at our own pace. After exploring all of the rooms, myself, Dad and my brother went up to the stage behind the main curtains. There was a couple there who said that the curtains had been moving - even so much that they went over the man's head, as if someone had pulled the curtains out. I proceeded to take some picstures in this area and got lots of orbs in them. We hung around with the couple for a while and the curtains continued to move - when there was only 5 of us there and we were all still. The rest of my party - my Mum and friend, proceeded to come up to where we were and they too saw the moving curtains. We called tour guide Dannie up with us and she said she could feel a "presence" there.
She had told us earlier that a little boy is one of the ghosts of the hall and he likes to play pranks. Dannie decided to start talking to him and she said that if he was there he should knock 3 times. She said this several times and we managed to hear him knocking a few times. the knocks sounded as if they were coming from underneath the stage - as well as the sound we could also feel a slight vibration from underneath our feet.
After Dannie left, the curtains continued to move and we decided that because this boy was young (about 6 or 7), we would ask if he wanted to play a game with us. The lady who was there had some Mentos lollies in her bag and we decided that we would throw one of them behind the curtains and ask him to throw it back. So she did and for a few minutes the 7 of us waited. Nothing happened.
And then suddenly we heard this huge noise that appeared to have come from the back of the stage, just a bit over from where we were all standing. The noise sounded as if something heavy had been thrown against the wall. After a few seconds of shock we all started screaming, jumped off the stage and ran like hell to the back of the hall where Dannie and the remaining 2 people on the tour (apart from us) were sitting. We told her frantically what had happened and she said she hadn't heard any noise, but she came up with the couple, my parents and me (my brother and friend were too scared to come back).
We looked behind the curtain and to our shock the Mentos was not there anymore - but instead a small button was in it's place. Could the young boy have taken the Mentos and replaced it with a button? Surely not, it seemed impossible. We told him to throw the Mentos back and we could keep playing. However, we think that he was a bit disheartened due to the fact that we ran away like lunatics after the noise; when we said we wanted to play with him.
Anyway the lady had another Mentos so we decided to throw that one back behind the curtain and asked him to throw that one or the original back to us. Straight after we heard the second Mentos that she threw drop, myself and the man heard a noise to the left of where we were standing. We shone the torch on the spot and to our disbelief, a Mentos was lying there. Quickly, we looked behind the curtain and yes - the other Mentos was still there.
After many questions we found it unbelievable that both Mentos's we there after the 1st one had defintly disappeared! But we cannot reach any reasonable conclusions - other than that of the fact that the boy gave us our lollie back because he wanted to play and communicate with us.
