The Gandhi Ghost of Wasleys

The Gandhi Ghost of Wasleys

1953, Wasley's, a town on the Adelaide Plains, north of Gawler. A ghost was sighted walking the streets in obvious distress.

A witness stated:

"Eventually, the ghost entered the hall where the ball was being held...the crowd stared....and the ghost asked his friend for directions... home!?!"

So, what was really going on in Wasley's on that night?

 A well known Gawler business identity of the era was invited to a ball at Wasley's, and whether a practical joke or just a misunderstanding, believing the ball was a fancy dress occasion.

He drove to his friend's house and got ready, ripping off his clothes. He covered his head in one white sheet, and his body in another, and made his way to the dance hall.

Once inside, he sat in the middle of the ballroom floor and started a Gandhi impersonation...only to realise, as he looked up, that no-one else was in fancy dress.

He quickly stood and departed as the crowd's laughter erupted in his ears, and made his way outside and down the street – only to find, he didn’t know where he was and was lost in Wasley's...

20 minutes later, the 'ghost of Gandhi', now embarrassed and dishevelled re-entered the dance hall, to ask directions back to his freinds house so he could change into his normal attire.
