It is said that two ghosts persecute nearby houses belonging to the lighthouse of Cape Naturaliste in Bunker Bay, Australia. Who were the people behind the ghosts of Happy Harry and Bloody Mary?

On the wild, uneven coast of Western Australia, where the Earth meets with a restless Indian Ocean, lies Bunker Bay – a place of natural beauty, secluded beaches and a flawless desert. But how many attractive places kissed by insulation also contains legends too disturbing to ignore.

To the west of the bay, inside the white limestone structure of the Cape Natural joke, the inhabitants whisper two ghosts that have reached an eternal house in the shadow of cliffs and houses. These two ghosts, known to generations of residents as “Happy Harry” and “Bloody Mary”, used spectral domain among the winds and lonely houses sitting by the sea.

The lithe was installed in a mercury bath that made it easier to rotate. Before people knew how toxic the mercury was, the carers coped with it without any form of protection, which leads to madness, along with the extreme isolation, with which they had to impose, with whom many breeders had to. This created many ghost stories from various lighthouses along the coast around the world.

A tragic story about “Happy Harry”

The first of these restless souls is Harry Balmire, a juvenile Scot, whose life met the gloomy end of these ruthless banks. In 1907, the Balmire ship was absorbed by treacherous currents near Cape Naturaliste. At least 12 ships were satisfied with robust currents and risky reefs, which are based on the pointed point of Cape Naturaliste.

Carnarvon's castle caught fire and the survivors were taken to the lighthouse. After weeks at sea, at least 14 sailors were saved at sea. The crew remained at the header house until they were well enough to travel. Desperate and seriously wounded, he sought shelter in a nearby lantern care house. But a distant shelter can offer him little more than a fleeting respite.

Maintained, dehydrated and lonely Harry will injure the house. And while his body was finally based on the nearby Busselton cemetery, before he was exhumed and sent back to Scotland, local knowledge insists his spirit. For over a century, guests and lighthouse employees informed about a lonely character holding a lantern, drifting along the area and through a foggy parking lot at dusk.

Some say that Harry's spirit is kind, known for his cushioned presence, not hostility – winning him the nickname “Happy Harry”. But do not make a mistake, its spectral form is enough to chilly the bones of even the most hardened residents.

The violent legend of “Bloody Mary”

While Harry's Spirit can be passive, the second spirit attached to the houses is nothing but.

The story of this being, known under the terrifying name “Bloody Mary”, is darker and more violent. According to regional legend, a maintenance worker once lived in one of the Caretakers houses near the lighthouse in the 1990s, one night he woke up to find a spectral form of a woman above him. Without warning, a ghostly figure began to stew him with cool, hidden hands.

Terrified and hardly catching the air, the man barely escaped, escaping in the middle of the night to the nearby city of Dunsborough. When the inhabitants found him, he wore fresh, incensed red marks around his neck – terrifying evidence of his meeting. He swore that it was the spirit of Mary, a name that since then went to a local legend.

Nobody knows for sure who Mary was in life, although some say that she was a contemptuous lover, while others in a whisper victim of a murder whose body was never found. Some think she was one of the lighthouse, Maud Elizabeth Govett Miner. In 1909 she stood in the chair to fix the curtain when she fell. The doctor was not able to feel her for many days, and when he arrived, blood poisoning developed. She and her child died in her pregnant. It remains undisputed, this is her enemy presence, which still remains in the hearts and fears of the community.

A place where legends refuse to die

Some say that they hear cushioned crying during the unrelated nights, while others report suddenly, a crushing sense of fear in empty houses, as if they are watching hidden eyes. The reputation of these haunted areas was so tough into the local folklore that visiting the bunker Bay without hearing the names of Harry Balmire and Bloody Mary would be unthinkable.

Rugged, sophisticated storm bunker Bay masks a macabre pillow, in which the restless died past still adhere to the cliffs and houses that they once knew. Regardless of whether you are a skeptic or a believer, you cannot deny the burden of these stories worn on the wind, loaded with salt.
