Husband on the radio: Haunted Prison?

Here's a short piece on local ABC radio about Husband's Freo Prison tour (as native guide) with former medium David Wells.

Mr Wells gains a few points in my book for asking people to isolate their own psychological reactions to places before they imagine they've had an encounter. i.e. don't be fooled by the Woo Spooky (my words). Husband reports that he (Wells) told people that if they see an orb, they should ask it to move to the left or right. Backlit dust specs don't usually repond to navigational requests.

Husband's voice can be heard talking about floggings and executions. He even gets the last word and SFX, bless 'im.

I really should take that tour. For one thing, I think I have a voucher for it; for another, I sold a ghost story about Fremantle Prison to Exotic Gothic 2 earlier this year, based mostly on memories that must be 30 years old!

It's a great tour. You'll need to book well in advance.

I'm sure Husband (and indeed I) would be very interested in your ghost story. Heck, after half an our with Husband you'd have enough material for a whole horror anthology. Ask him about the seagull. And the finger. And the bucket.
