Great article, love it. I bet there are also ghosts (or reports of them) in Dubrovnik!

Yes, whilst there are lots of reported incidents - ours was at the Commandant’s House in Port Arthur Historic Site. It was late in the day, there was a 'volunteer' stationed at the front door but most of the visitors had left for the day, we were the only couple still on the premises. As we walked into the entry, getting ready to walk down a hallway, a wardrobe door slowly opened for no known reason (there was no draft or wind).  Very soon after this a bang was heard in the kitchen. We followed the volunteer into the kitchen to find a pot had fallen on the floor.  Seemingly from a position that it couldn't/shouldn't have fallen.  Her response was 'Sadie is at it again', ....I wasn't hanging around to find out about Sadie I'm afraid.  I can't explain it, but the feeling we experienced of actually being 'watched' was one feeling I will never forget or want to ever experience again.  So many convicts then met a horrible fate and it is truly an amazing place to visit. A visit is a must.

 

Sadly we have had a modern day tragedy there on the same site in 1996 that led to fundamental changes of gun control laws within Australia that have seemingly worked.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Arthur_massacre_(Australia) My only wish is that America will one day see the same laws passed.  I'm not holding my breath.
