The Ghost of Elong relates to the town of Elong Elong in New South Wales,Australia. The Ghost of Elong originates from the disappearance of two miners early in 1857 in the nearby goldfields followed by a further two disappearances from the town itself in the following weeks. There is much speculation from historians relating to the events which led to the closure of the goldfields themeselves. Many superstitious miners of the time simply chose to move to any number of the surrounding goldfields at the time. The subsequent disapearances of four military personnel in the area during WW1 resulted in the resurgence of the legend.

Early disappearances
Blah blah blah
