Poltergeist haunts glacier retreat	Permalink

Mt Cook village residents are stumped but not spooked by recent supernatural experiences in the national park's oldest mountain hut. Mountain guides, visitor centre employees, a helicopter pilot and a cafe manager have all reported paranormal experiences in and around the old hut high up on the Hooker Glacier. The Hooker hut was built nearly 100 years ago, is a three-hour walk from the visitor centre and sits about 1100 metres above Mt Cook village. Department of Conservation (DOC) mountain guide Jane Morris and visitor centre assistant Monica Yeoman experienced the surreal when they spent the night of their lives in the hut last Friday. Ms Morris said she understands their account of paranormal activity could be cause for ridicule. However, she believes there has been a lack of investigation into the countless reports of spooky happenings in the hut. Both of them explained the spooky happenings in and around the hut and the lack of investigation surrounding events. The pair left the village after work and arrived at the hut around dusk on March 20. It wasn't until they had finished dinner and hopped into their sleeping bags that things started to rattle in the night. "We'd only been in bed for about 15 minutes when I heard footsteps on the deck outside," Ms Morris said. "It sounded like someone was unloading a pack. "The noise was constant until I heard the sound of an ice axe hitting the corrugated iron. "It certainly wasn't an animal as the disturbance sounded organised." Ms Yeoman had woken by that stage and both went outside to look around only to discover nothing. After returning to bed, it was only a matter of five minutes before both women heard what they described as the sound of pots clanging. It was a sleepless night for both of them after that as the relentless sound of clanging and shuffling continued. http://theunexplainedmysteries.com/poltergeist-glacier.html __________________ Webmaster (http://theunexplainedmysteries.com)
