THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The Old Gumboro Homestead is the subject of local stories describing unexplained activity within and around the historic property. Reports include strange sounds and apparitions attributed to unidentified former occupants, giving the isolated homestead a longstanding haunted reputation.
The small township of Gumboro is renowned for it’s haunted homestead. The sound of heavy breathing and disembodied footsteps have been reported in the old house, as well as spectral figures moving across the yard. A harmonica can also heard be played in the early hours of morning or late at night. The ghosts appear to be of a younger friendly child and an older solitary spirit, whose voices can sometimes be heard around the house. The current owners of the house are not upset about their presence, as they are seen as guardians of the homestead.
