Krysti leads with Campbelltown and Fisher’s ghost. Fredrick Fisher was an Englishman that was sent to Australia due to being passed fake bank notes. Fredrick scored his ticket of leave and started buying up properties. Fred got himself in trouble again and went straight to jail. Cue a shady partner Worral getting the power of attorney over all Fisher’s property. Fisher promptly disappeared and eventually was found dead on Worral’s property. Cue ghost stories and a 10 day festival in Campbelltown. Next up, Tori covers a cemetery of course. Rookwood Cemetery is located right outside of Sydney and is huge. Cue city name changes as well as the cemeteries change. This is still in use today. As a Victorian cemetery, it’s set up different than the cemeteries than the ones in the States. Ghosts and goats are found there too. It’s the largest cemetery in the Southern Hemisphere. She touches on some of the famous folks buried there and the spiritualist Davenport Brothers.
