National Museum of Australia
01/2012

I was working at the Museum doing a check of the gallery before opening hours. I walked into our temporary exhibition space and saw a reflection in one of the showcases of a man walking up to where I was. I was around a corner stopped to let him past because I was about to run into him.... but he never passed so I stuck my head out from around the corner but there was no one there. I looked for him and called out to him, but there was nothing. I was about to tell him he couldn't be in this space because it wasn't open yet - and in fact there was no way he could have got in. It was all locked. I had swipe card access. He was an older gentleman wearing grey slacks and was quite rotund and unlike anyone I knew that worked at the Museum at that time. The Museum used to be the site of the old Canberra hospital and there have been several weird sightings, including a security guard who saw a floating head on top of an old dress that was on display.

What Is A Liminal Map?

Spooky things happen every day all around us! Instead of brushing these peculiar moments and bizarre encounters off as chance, or mere coincidence, what if we talked about them, mapped them, and tried to decode the message?

Is there a specific place where you've seen fairies, ghosts, bigfoot, time travelers, extraterrestrials, ultraterrestrials, crow conferences, sentient lawn computers, lanyard'd ogres, broccoli wizards, etc.? Does your town have an urban legend you'd love to get to the bottom of?
