Summary

2025 TOUR TICKETS ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.thisparanormallife.com⁠⁠⁠ Australia — a land that has given us much to be scared of — spiders, shoeys, and the most powerful accent known to man. But perhaps no story from Australia is more believable or terrifying than that of the Humpty Doo Poltergeist. In 1998 a paranormal story from a small town in Australia’s Northern Territory hit local news. It started as a humour piece, but quickly the reporters realised there was nothing funny about what was happening. What followed is one of the most well-documented paranormal stories in history, and the topic of this week’s investigation. Time for Kit and Rory to discover the truth!
