I have been to Norfolk. There are some rather haunted places there. Mostly indoor places though.

But look at Cape Otway. It's very active outdoors.
If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands.

I went there once as a child. AS they don't do tours etc being a working gaol, who really knows. I don't recall that the bit I went to as a visitor was haunted.

By the very nature of the place I would put my money on something being there,

I also think they feel different in the night versus the day.

Parra Gaol has a few stories from people working there. It is nearly 170 years old and had many deaths from suicide and natural deaths. It used to be very eerie to work at you get used to it!

True but all gaols have deaths. Not are all terribly haunted though. Look at Old Geelong Gaol, it's rather peaceful generally speaking. As is Old Melbourne Gaol which is rather overrated.

LOL, We go to the Royal Hotel in Daylesford all the time.

The Cosmopolitan in Trentham has been closed for some time due to a fire, but there is another place there that is reputed to be haunted with everything from moving objects, slamming doors, people talking and saying hello when nobody is around, shadows and figures seen etc...

I only found out about this place two weeks ago so until we go in I will not mention the exact location. :)
