The Haunted Bookshop Ghost Tour

Here we all are at the Haunted Bookshop in Melbourne all ready to go and see some Ghosts. We didnt see any thank goodness, but we sure did hear some great stories about haunted buildings.

We found out where the 1st markets were, that Federation Square was Melbourne's first morge, the red light districts was in La Trobe St just behind where all the Horses and carriages were housed in the garages.
I was amazed to walk down quiet laneways in Melbourne's Central Business District that I've never walked down before. We encountered a lot of old buildings, like the Old State Title Office and the Old Forensic Medicine Buikdings, funnily enough all added up to 13!!
I also noticed how many lights went on or off. Maybe the Ghosts were saying hello to David our Tour guide, he does this tour every Saturday night!
We walked for about 2 hours, ended with a walk through Flagstaff Gardens and Victoria Markets that once were Cemeteries and I suppose still are because the bodies are still there!
