Cockatoo Island: Sydney17th Bienale: COCATOO ISLAND: One of the Most Haunted Sites in Sydney

This is the main site of the 17th Bienale in Sydney. Cockatoo Island is one of the most haunted sites in Sydney. It was once a phsych hospital for the criminally insane. There are tunnels that have been blocked, some haven't, some go under the harbor to old Rozelle Psychiatric Hospital, which is now the Sydney College of the Arts. Some amazing installation works there which I cannot show unless in public space outdoors, due to copyright. But I can give a commentary.

@massappealmadness1 I don't doubt you for a second. The lower tunnels that go under the harbor to Rozelle Hospital, which are not really popular, are still wet on the floor and are really creepy. They have a nasty history. I would say more poltergeist than just ghost in that case. The tunnel in the Island, yes, ghost. I don't think poltergeist. Some of the sheds upstairs have some horrible vibes. You can camp there on the Island, but I don't think I could sleep there.

Amazing island! It reminds me a bit of Alcatraz

[saintfletcher]

@mehquig It is a bit. Not as dramatic and the stories are not as well documented. Alcatraz would be a fantastic space for an art exhibition if the Californians caught onto the idea.

@oldbag699 No, but I heard about it and I would like to do that. I have met one of the tour guides in a TAFE course doing something else and he was a character. He said that on every tour, something happens and people do get chills up their spines. I don't know how you can catch that on camera...
