1 form y separately published work icon The Guyra Ghost Mystery John Cosgrove , ( dir. John Cosgrove ) Australia : Cosgrove and Regan , 1921 Z1872378 1921 single work film/TV fantasy horror

'William Bowen's house in Guyra was famous for a contemporary haunting. Over several weeks, windows were broken, rocks were tossed onto the roof and the Bowens were kept awake by banging on the walls. Apparently one of the Bowen children confessed to tossing some rocks on the roof to scare a younger sibling, but this didn't seem to account for the extent of the phenomenon, especially as these things kept happening even when the place was surrounded by policemen. The Bowen[s] themselves appear in the film and John Cosgrove stars as Sherlock Doyle, a psychic investigator modelled on a friend of Arthur Conan Doyle's'.
