GHOST POET SLEEPS IN HAUNTED HEARSE
On Saturday 19th May, Nathan Curnow, an award-winning poet funded by the Australia Council will sleep in Australia's most haunted vehicle, Elvira The Haunted Hearse.
Having recently toured Australia and New Zealand launching his first collection of poetry, Nathan Curnow is spending 2007 sleeping at ten haunted locations, writing a new book of 'Ghost Poems' based upon his experiences. So far his project has included terrifying stays at Monte Cristo Homestead (Australia's Most Haunted House), Picton (Australia's Most Haunted Town), Old Adelaide Gaol, Richmond Bridge, an old lunatic asylum, and at the residence of a ghostly politician.
"I am interested in a variety of haunted locations," says Nathan, "not just haunted houses. I want to explore fear, courage and the paranormal through language, and diverse settings mean diverse poems."
Owned and operated by Destiny Tours, Elvira The Haunted Hearse is a black 1967 Cadillac, famous for its Ghost Tours of Sydney. Many hundreds of passengers have experienced unusual feelings in and around the hearse. Often it is just feeling very cold or very hot, having a headache or strange pain somewhere in the body. Many passengers have had their hair or hands stroked by something unseen.
"Elvira has transported thousands to their final resting place, so I'm bound to get my money's worth," Nathan adds. "Destiny Tours have even agreed to split half of their fee with Guide Dogs, NSW. It's about negotiating the darkness, so helping out the Guide Dogs seems appropriate."
