Scott
is a photographer, he admits to being able to "feel" the presence of ghosts.
One day in a hotel in South Australia he captured these amazing entities
on film. Here is Scott's story.
Years
ago my brother and his wife and kids moved into a hotel in Gawler, South
Australia, a small town north of Adelaide. After carrying out renovations
on the building that was built in 1836, strange things started to happen,
people started to hear strange things and see the apparition of a small
girl and an older man. Being a sceptic I didn't believe it until my brother
started to see things as well. All the stories from different people were
the same so I got interested, and being a photographer (Weddings etc.)
I thought I would have a go at getting something on film. A friend and
I stayed in the hotel all night in the section which used to be the Gawler
morgue last century before it was turned into a hotel. It was very eerie
and I could feel the presence of the spirits or what ever you call them.
It was so strong a feeling that it is hard to describe. This photo was
taken on 3,200iso speed Kodak TMax film B&W. I also tried inferred
film without much success. After developing the film I had a quick look
at it and didn't think I had captured anything until a week or so later
when I was doing some testing in the dark room and I noticed a negative
which looked different than the rest. I made a copy and could not believe
it. I then took a copy to every photo expert I could find and they all
said it was unexplainable. After the initial carry on about it, we decided
to throw them in a draw and forget about it until the local Gawler paper
"The Bunyip" contacted me 4 or 5 years later In March 1998. The South Australian
Advertiser (South Australias main newspaper) also ran a story on the photo
in March. Then in April the same year "A Current Affair" (TV Program) did
an interview with me at the Old Spot Hotel which aired on Channel 9 in
April, 1998 around Australia.
