First aired Channel 31 Melbourne, 24 Nov & 1 Dec, 2007
"Walhalla's gates are opened wide,
its portals ever bending,
To receive those men,
the sons of Mars,
whose lives on earth are ending*
"The 150-year-old former gold mining town of Walhalla was named after the Halls of the Dead of Norse mythology - perhaps with good reason
"A ghostly figure and phantom footsteps accompany brave souls journeying deep into the dark underworld of Long Tunnel mine
"Disembodied footsteps stalk Windsor House, whose wine cellar served as a morgue when scarlet fever broke out in the 1870s
"The ghost of a woman holding a baby has been encountered in the hall
"... and strange indents appear in a bed is if somebody is present
"From a ghost in a general store, to a haunted gold mine - and a poltergeist in a lolly shop ...
"... if one place deserves the title 'ghost town'
its Walhalla
In Part 2, the Haunted Australia investigators try to establish the extent to which settlers from the past inhabit the township of today.
