User:Frankston Four/The Ghost of Frankston

Ghostly sightings and sounds have been reported in the town of Frankston, Victoria in Australia since 1890. They have usually been near the railway line, on Clarendon Street, and also sometimes on the Pier. Mutant steam train type sounds have been heard in the night, and some say that they have seen a skeletal figure very slowly creeping along, growing and shrinking, and then disappearing.

One group of 4 people took a picture of their shadows on the Pier one night, and when they saw the picture, there was a 5th shadow. But no one saw a 5th person with them. The particular night in question, there was a lot of unusual jellyfish and stingray activity in the water below the pier.

In the year 1890, it was believed that in the area where there is now a house standing on the corner of Dell road and Clarendon street near the railway line, there was a man murdered by group of brutal men armed with knives, after a disagreement over a card game. Evidence of this was found, by a blood stained leaning wicker basket chair on the decking of the house, where the card game was believed to have taken place. The ghost which has come to be referred to as "Stupid Ghost" because of its inability to scare anyone, has been sighted in the living room of that house. The body of the diseased card player is believed to be buried in the cemetery opposite.
