Glad I could give you a laugh - I've had jobs that were beating the spirit out of me, but am lucky to enjoy my current job.

I'm envious! Australia has only had white man around for about 200 years, so we 'lack history' in some ways in regard to old estates and similar to have hauntings. The Australian Aboriginal spirits and similar have beliefs much like the American Indian, so less likely to have 'weird hauntings'. Most of the stuff I've looked into is written by teenagers whom have Copy Pasta (copy and paste from someone else's web site, don't verify anything) and is quickly disproven. It is amazing who you meet who has incidental experience!

Yeah, seems to be the normal reaction - people either go 'cooool' or 'your nuts!!!' Google search Larundel - the abandoned psychiatric hospital - I say no more!

I'll have to admit to being into ghost chasing and history hounding for quite a few years - probably a similar age. Mines, ghost towns, old machinery and buildings have always held a fascination.
Things like magic exist in the trio's world? Would probably include more ghosts and spirits. With some of the characters like Bast roaming around, there is lots of possibility.
For some reason reminds me of Rachel's fan fiction of Natasha dreaming of the 'ghost' of Paul Greer (the fox whom was at the time boyfriend of Val, who attacked the girls ).
Suppose there is a huge chunk of stuff written up on the religious beliefs for the trio and their world, with so many 'interesting' characters, there is probably lots of scope of interesting history and background.

I hadn't heard that joke, but worked in places where it was true!

Some could claim L. Ron Hubbard (founder of scientology) was as well, but look how that turned out... >_<
Scrapper, Black Dragon, many a dream of fantastic realms (sometimes a modified reflection of the real one)!
