The White Ghost of Port Wakefield
Last week I featured a story about the Grey Ghost of Port
Wakefield and how it may, or may not have actually been a grey horse terrorising the local community. Just a
week after the grey ghost caused fear and pandemonium, another ghost story popped up in Port Wakefield.
It was a hot summer
night, and in the newer part of Port Wakefield, a lady was walking around her
yard as she could not sleep. She checked her garden, and a newly stacked pile
of wood delivered that day.
As she glanced over at the wood she noticed a man stealing smaller logs and putting them in his bag. She let out a small scream, startling the man.
The man, who had not noticed
her previously, looked up to see a woman dressed in white, glowing in the full
moonlight, with wide eyes, and open mouth who was letting out a scream. Shocked
and scared, he turned and ran. He bolted without looking where he was going and
ran straight into an iron fence, rebounded so hard, he flung back into the wall
of the stone wash house and fell inside. In a panic at the ghost he had just
witnessed, he kicked the washing copper over and sent dust and ashes everywhere
from the fire pit used to heat it. He managed to stand up, and then jumped
through a window, collided with a wheelbarrow then fell into a heap after
rolling across the lawn.
The ladies small dog
attacked the man, who suddenly stood up, trouser-less, and fled into the night,
the dog tore the trousers, and a well worn left behind slipper, to pieces. The
woman, who had regained her composure, reported the incident to police the
following morning.
