TOPIC: Willow Court DARK ASYLUM ToursA discussion into the history and the Paranormal Investigation Tours of Australia's Oldest continually run Asylum in Tasmania, Willow Court.
About Sharmaine Mansfield My name is Sharmaine Mansfield and I am the owner of Tasmania's Most Haunted. I currently own and operate Paranormal Investigations / Ghost Tours at Australia's Oldest Continually Run Asylum, Willow Court. Willow Court is located approximately 34klms from Tasmania's Capital City, Hobart. Tasmania's Most Haunted has conducted tours and investigations at the Asylum since 2014 with many visitors from all over the world participating in our tours. How I became involved in the Paranormal was in 2015 I attended my first Paranormal Investigation Tour at the Willow Court Asylum where I witnessed something we could not explain and from that day forward I continued to attend the tours and private investigations seeking answers to the unknown. After 12 months of attending tours, I became part of the Tasmania's Most Haunted team as a Tour Guide, with 12 months later, I became the new owner. Since becoming the new owner, my passion for both the Willow Court site and the Paranormal has become a major part of my life and I wouldn't have it any other way. I grew up in the area of Willow Court and recall witnessing the Asylum in full operation. The Asylum closed its doors in the years 2000/2001. The Willow Court Asylum has sat dormant for many years and I hope through my tours I have been able to educate everyone with not only the Ghosts of the site, but with the amazing history this site has to tell. I hope you can join me at the Expo to find out more on the Willow Court Dark Asylum Tours. |
TOPIC: Paranormal Adventures in Australia & BeyondAlison’s talk will cover some of the unusual activity during her investigations, both here in Australia and overseas. She also proves that you should always check for evidence, even if you think you had a quiet night....
About Alison Oborn Alison was born into a haunted house and, after many years of trying to deal with what she encountered, decided to research the topic for herself, to find her own answers. She set up her team called Paranormal Field Investigators and ended up as the the official researchers at the Old Adelaide Gaol for over 10 years (she even authored a book on their time there - Ghosts of the Past). Alison was asked to conduct their ghost tours and this led to the start of Adelaide's Haunted Horizons, a multi award-winning, Hall of Fame tourism business. Ghost tours, paranormal investigations and dark history tours are conducted up to 5 nights a week in 13 locations, keeping herself and her staff very busy indeed. Having now being a paranormal investigator for over 30 years, Alison's way of paying herself a wage and relaxing is to travel the world every year and investigate known haunted locations such as Waverly Hills Sanitarium, The Queen Mary and Bobby Mackey's Music Hall .... to name but a few. She even takes her followers with her on those investigations via FB live so they can be there in real time, investigating along side her. Even though for Alison it's a 24/7 job, she wouldn't have it any other way. She is very proud of the Haunted Horizons motto 'Keeping it Real', if nothing happens on the night, then nothing happens, that is the reality of the paranormal. This is how it will always be... |
