Hobart’s convict history provides rich fodder for its many ghost stories. The old penal settlement at Port Arthur is particularly known for ghostly sightings, and the lantern-lit after-dark tours bring up tales of prisoners who died, but still hang around in spirit form.
The Theatre Royal and the Hobart Penitentiary Chapel are both believed to have their own resident spooks, while women have reported being throttled by the ghost of a hanged Chinese man in the ladies’ toilets of waterfront seafood restaurant The Drunken Admiral.

I went to the skirrid inn monmouthshire (featured on most haunted many years later) It was a grey rainy evening as my mate pulled into the car park the pub looked grey and uninviting I had a cold shiver run down my spine. When I tried to open the passenger door it would not open my mate told me to stop messing as he was getting wet, He tried to open the door from the outside but he could not open it either There is nothing for it i said i will get out the drivers side
I tried that door and you guessed it i could not get out of that side either
The car had no central locking my mate tried his key in the drivers door but it would not open I climbed out of the window and of course the door opened without a key so we could close the window and lock the car my mate never had a problem with the car locking or unlocking prior or since that incident (it seemed to me someone in the spirit world did not want me to go in that pub)

Crazy. Not mention of African voodoo or mention of the Caribbean capital of voodoo Haiti. Once the inhabitants of Haiti were terrified of voodoo used and administered by former president Papa Doc.. Its alleged he terrified and murdered over 30,000 of his own people using voodoo as a principle weapon to control them... Its a shame MSN doesn't do their homework. It like doing a post about WW1 and not bothering to mention the Germans were involved.... People in Haiti are still terrified of voodoo today... You can't get spookier than people terrified of voodoo...
