Full Moon Ghost Tours
Since the beginnings of time, full moons have been associated with paranormal activity.
A full moon is by far the most conducive time to experience ghostly phenomena. There are many theories as to why this is, from:
- the air being more saturated with positive ions
- to the silvery colour and rays emitted from the full and bright moon
- to the added gravitational pull on the earth, and on us, during a full moon.
Scientists scoff at all three of these theories, saying that the effects, whatever they might be, are not strong enough to affect us in any measurable way. That seems a bit too easy, as the full moon has been associated with paranormal and supernatural occurrences since the beginning of time. It could be that a combination of the above, or something not even thought of yet, is responsible. Yet, there is almost indisputable proof that the full moon is related to an increase in paranormal phenomena.
It most definitely wouldn't hurt to drag out the compass, digital camera, and whatever other ghost hunting equipment you have next time you experience a full moon. You may be surprised at the results. It seems to be a time where the spirit world and the physical world get just that little bit closer together...
In Sydney’s lower North Shore, on the occurrence of the next full moon, we will visit:
- allegedly cursed aboriginal sites
- the grounds of a Victorian era haunted mansion
- and a historic cemetery (the oldest on the North Shore) complete with resident ghosts.
Will you feel the chill of electricity running up your spine, and a spirit passing through you, on this night?
Like all of our walking tours, this tour is a Historic Ghost tour.
We call ourselves Australia's most authentic ghost tours for a reason. All of our tours have to talk about what happened when people were alive, so that when we talk about what happened after they died, it actually makes sense. Nearly all paranormal activity is usually associated with traumatic events that took place when people were alive. So we have to explain this, within the context of the time in which these events took place. What was normal, and taken for granted then, is are very, very different to today.
As a result, 70% of all of our tours are documented fact, 10% are our "joining the dots" from many years of research, and the " local legends" or Paranormal parts of our tour make up the remaining 20% . However most of what we have to talk about is taken from original documentation, contemporary to the time, not academics passing opinions on other academics opinions. Most of these documents have never been available to Australian historians up until very recently, and most are still not aware of even now. They were only recently found in archives, scanned, and been made available. It is gritty, real, absolutely mind blowing, and completely changes what we thought we knew.
We start our tours explaining the context of the reality of early aboriginal and colonial life - and get darker and darker into the physical and then into the paranormal as the tour progresses.
(OUR WET WEATHER POLICY: We do not operate in dangerous or wet weather. Our tour visits a Victorian era cemetery at night -a place not built to 21st century safety standards. This location becomes unacceptably risky for falls when wet, and is subject to lightning strikes during thunderstorms. In the situation that we have to postpone for any reason, rather than issue refunds, we will issue you with a gift certificate valid for 3 years, for double the number of tickets you have paid for. This way, you will get to come at a later time, and bring friends with you, on us. For more information click here. When you purchase tickets, you are agreeing to these terms).
