The Evil That Haunts The You Yangs Heights 15-Apr-2005 At 5:15:48 PM Kingerz

A few thoughts on your thoughts folks:

Yes, it is 'for real', but already it seems like a faded dream that happened weeks or months ago and I can see why a group of Scoobys/Ghostbusters might want to go and investigate...The previous encounters we have now heard about with the '?spirit?' all seem to have been with individuals, rather than groups, however. And more than that, you would be much better off if you did NOT experience it - take my word for that.

Climbau's points about the Indigenous myths seems especially relevant: there was something very old and very evil about the experience, making me feel totally out of depth in an instant. I do not think that I 'freaked myself out' as I was actually in a great, relaxed frame of mind. It was something external, not psychological. However, I cannot otherwise explain what happened. Despite it all, I am not worried about going back to the You Yangs in general - I am heading back this Sunday in fact.

There are a few pics that in some sense link with the story at
