Richmond Village
Richmond Bridge
The oldest in Australia and the most haunted, George Grover is one of the spirits that walk the bridge, he has be seen, felt on the bridge for over 100 years, those who encounter George are fearful and scared, though it has never been recorded if George has attacked anyone, so we don’t know if he is someone to be frightened of?
Who is George Grover (Richmond’s Most Notorious Ghost)

There is a ghost of a man in a straw hat that is seen on rare occasion, though the man wears a hat but has no head, he just stands and watches people walk across the bridge.
The 3rd is a black dog, though this dog is not to be feared and it only appears to females, this happens when a female is walking the bridge alone the dog walks beside her until she has crossed the bridge, then the dog turns and disappears walking over bridge.
The Road
The road is between Sorell and the town of Richmond; years ago a convict executed a brutal attack on an innocent woman. In the after math the woman had been raped and strangled, now the woman’s ghost is said to haunt the area, years ago a lone hunter became her first victim, he was found clinging to a fence, eyes bludging in fear and very much dead. If you’re game to walk the ghost area doesn’t stay around to long you never know what would happen?
