Ghost Stories:
The ghost stories that involve the General Post Office on the corner of King William Street and Victoria Square are very few and far between. The only “alleged” spirit is one felt by psychic Richard Sharr during research for a book.
Mr Sharr claims that a former Police Officer named “Albert” haunts the building, but currently there
is no evidence to support his psychic claim.
If you have had a paranormal experience within the building, please don’t hesitate to email Allen

Ghost Stories:
An unknown male parishioner, is thought to haunt the old church on North Terrace. It is thought he died during an Easter service very early in the Churches history.
Every Easter service since, parishioners have heard a disembodied voice, louder than all the rest, shout “AMEN!” at every possible opportunity. The congregation often looks to the direction the booming voice has come from to find no one there at all. Many people thought it was a hoax perpetrated yearly by the same person, but that person could never be identified. Allen Tiller Collection

Ghost Stories:
Staff often joke about a spirit in Government House, affectionately known as “George”. The spirit likes to move small objects around the house. Sometimes he can be heard walking through the hallways, and on other occasions wispy shadows have been seen.
Reports of cold spots on floors are another common factor in the house, as is people describing a “presence” in the room with them.
“George” or another unnamed spirit has been felt as “rushes of air” that pass staff in the ballroom or
hallways.
Another presence that has been visually sighted in the house is that of a “grey lady” who has been seen by night watchmen and security guards, she is wearing long flowing clothes, possibly a gown, and has been witnessed sweeping down the main staircase but disappearing before she reaches the bottom.

There has long been the insinuation that room 103 is allegedly haunted by the spirit of a lady named “Mary”, but after talking to staff members within the hotel, that story can now be amended.
Staff report that the spirit of a former resident named “Mary” haunts the dining room of the hotel.
The story passed down through staff is that Mary was a young girl, aged about 15 when she first began work in the hotel, when it was called “The United Services Club”. Eventually Mary became the hotels Dining Room Supervisor, a position she held until her death at the age of 93.
Staff have seen Mary at various times, but only on the first floor of the hotel and in the dining room, never elsewhere. She is reported to be friendly and helpful. Allen Tiller Collection
