Celebrity Ghost Hunt
Ghost Hunt is a reality TV show from New Zealand. It is an investigating series in which a team of three investigators, Carolyn Taylor, Michael Hallows and Brad Hills, visited alleged haunted hotspots around New Zealand. It is currently aired in Europe on the channel Zone Reality. Episode structure There were three main sections of every episode; first the team would look around the location during the daylight, then set up video cameras and temperature monitors just before dark for later use. The second section involved, at night, Michael and Carolyn entering the location again with only flashlights and photography equipment, their objective being to check temperatures that could indicate paranormal activity and take photographs in an attempt to capture images of ghosts and orbs. Before dawn, to start the third section, the pair would exit the location and meet with Brad in the Ghost Hunt vehicle, who would examine the evidence gathered by Michael and Carolyn, as well as discus ...

Paranormal
Paranormal events are purported phenomena described in popular culture, folk, and other non-scientific bodies of knowledge, whose existence within these contexts is described as being beyond the scope of normal scientific understanding. Notable paranormal beliefs include those that pertain to extrasensory perception (for example, telepathy), spiritualism and the pseudosciences of ghost hunting, cryptozoology, and ufology. Proposals regarding the paranormal are different from scientific hypotheses or speculations extrapolated from scientific evidence because scientific ideas are grounded in empirical observations and experimental data gained through the scientific method. In contrast, those who argue for the existence of the paranormal explicitly do not base their arguments on empirical evidence but rather on anecdote, testimony, and suspicion. The standard scientific models give the explanation that what appears to be paranormal phenomena is usually a misinterpretation, mi ...

Former Holy Trinity Methodist Church, Dunedin
The former Trinity Methodist Church is registered as a category I historic place by Heritage New Zealand, which recognises its historic and architectural significance. Originally a Methodist church, it is located on the corner of Moray Place and Upper Stuart Street, in the heart of the southern city of Dunedin. In 1977 the church was refitted and operated as the Fortune Theatre. Financial difficulties in 2000 threatened the theatre with closure, and forced the sale of the building to the Dunedin City Council, who leased the building back to the Fortune Theatre Trust. The theatre trust closed in 2018. As of July 2021, the building is empty with no current plans for its use. Background The Methodist congregation of Dunedin initially met at the Oddfellows Hall and then at the City Council Chambers, previously the Dunedin Athenaeum and Mechanics' Institute, on the corner of Manse and High Streets. The congregation were gifted a plot of land on Bell Hill. A wooden building with ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Kinder House And Ewelme Cottage
Kinder House is a historic house on Ayr Street, in the suburb of Parnell, Auckland, New Zealand. History Kinder House, sometimes known as "The Headmaster's House" was built in 1857. It was commissioned by Bishop George Selwyn and designed by Frederick Thatcher, architect of many Anglican buildings in Auckland.

Saint Bathans, New Zealand
St Bathans, formerly named Dunstan Creek, is a former gold and coal mining town in Central Otago, New Zealand. The settlement was a centre of the Otago Gold Rush, but mining has since long ceased. It is now largely a holiday retreat due to the preservation of many of its historic buildings. St Bathans is well known for Blue Lake, a small man-made lake created by gold-sluicing that transformed the 120-metre high Kildare Hill into a 168-metre deep pit. After mining stopped in 1934, the hole accumulated water, which turned a distinctive blue hue due to minerals from the surrounding rocks. It is currently a camping spot, and swimming is allowed in the lake. The town was named for the Scottish Borders village of Abbey St Bathans by early surveyor John Turnbull Thomson; the Scottish village was the birthplace of Thomson's maternal grandfather. It is 40 kilometres northwest of Ranfurly and 60 kilometres northeast of Alexandra, near the Dunstan Creek, beneath the St Bathans Range ...

Whatipu
Whatipu is a remote beach on the west coast of the Auckland Region in the North Island of New Zealand. The Whatipu area has been managed as a scientific reserve by the Auckland Regional Council since 2002. The road to it is unsealed. To the south of Whatipu is Manukau Harbour. To the north is Karekare. Whatipu is located at the southern end of the Waitākere Ranges. Shifting sands have substantially changed the beach since the 1940s. Over 6 square kilometres has been added to the beach since then. Geography Between 3 and 5 million years ago, tectonic forces between the Pacific Plate and Australian Plate uplifted the Waitākere Ranges and subsided the Manukau Harbour. Major features of Whatipu include Te Toka-Tapu-a-Kupe / Ninepin Rock and Paratutae Island, which are remnants of the Miocene era Waitākere Volcano. From the 1930s to the 1960s, sandy material began accumulating at Whatipu, creating a 1.5km strip of sand, where plants and fresh water swamps developed. Much of t ...
