For most people the word 'ghost' conjures up images of transparent white figures floating around ancient castles in Europe but, as the stories in Great Australian Ghost Stories prove, though Australia may be short on ancient castles, it has never been short on ghosts. Australia has a rich history of ghost sightings and spooky tales, from the time of European settlement to today. Author Richard Davis has long been fascinated with our ghostly heritage, and brings together in this collection the very best of these stories. So, make sure the doors and windows are locked, turn the lights down low, settle in your favourite chair, and enjoy Australian history from a very different perspective.
