During the recent weekends, my super "adventurous" friend, Edwin wanted to visit the Melbourne Goal (another word for jail) so badly, and coincidentally we had a buy 1 free 1 admission ticket voucher from the entertainment book, so I had no reason to reject him. I was pretty sure why Edwin wanted to go this kind of places badly, it's definitely not because of sight seeing purpose. Well, he wanted to "see" or "feel" "other things". He has always been into this kind of supernatural paranormal stuffs. Well, I think I am one of the bravest friend he had which will accompany him to do crazy stuffs like this. Anyways I myself was quite interested in historical buildings but definitely not for the same reason as him.
Basically, this goal has centuries of history if I'm not mistaken since World War II. During the war, many illegal immigrants which were caught were placed in this jail and there were from all over the world although mainly from Australia. Not only that, there were males and females prisoner as well. What's astonishing about this goal is that out of around 200 prisoners held, approximately 130 of them were hanged and executed here.
Okay back to my experience, when I first step into the jail, I felt a sense of eeriness surrounding and the air was damp and cool. It was quite tightly secured with only metal grills and bars all over, and just a slight ray of light managed to shine into the jail floor from the windows. Seriously, it's really spooky ok? Given there weren't many people inside the jail at that time. It was 3 stories high and every floor has around 30-40 cells. Every cells have its own story of the occupant. We walked from cell to cell and read about the crimes they committed and how they were punished. Unfortunately most of them were hanged and some were even proven to be innocent after their death. In addition, we even walk past the place where the gallows were and the site of execution. Honestly, throughout the whole tour, my hair was standing on my back and I seriously did not wanted to snap any photos inside because I don't want to capture any "unknown" objects. Long story cut short...
While Edwin was at the second floor he said he say some apparition floated across and it was white but weird thing was at that moment there weren't anyone or anything there. But thank God I didn't see anything. But I definitely felt something, I felt really heavy and dizzy while I was inside the jail. I didn't feel well I just felt I wanted to get out of that place as soon as possible.
In another story, while Edwin and I were visiting this one cell with another local woman, one of her friend came dashing in telling her friend she captured something on the camera and it looked like "ghost". Immediately I felt goosebumps all over.
Then we went downstairs and wait for a short show which is scheduled on that day about the story of some prisoners. As we sat down, Edwin felt bored and took out his iPhone and played with the compass function, his compass detected some interference and couldn't function. I didn't believe so I took out my IPhone as well and the same thing happened! Oh My Gosh! What was it.. I didn't dare think twice and immediately without even waiting for the show to commence , we took off and left that place.
After getting out of the prison, we found out the prison is only open for tourism purpose during the day, However during the night, there are also some night tour which are for those who wish to experience the paranormal activities and they even posted some images with a shape of a human floating pass. I won't even dare to think about joining that kind of tour.
As for that day, I had enough and I think Edwin learnt his lesson as well. For the first time I saw this daredevil showing his coward side...all I can say is What An Experience.
