The Ghost of Martha Rendell

Fremantle Prison
December 2024

This is so crazy! The guide on one of the tours around the prison made our group stop in front of one specific part of the prison and told us about how a woman named Martha Rendell was convicted of child abuse and executed despite insisting on her innocence. He then unexpectedly mentioned that she still hasn’t left the prison and pointed at the window to chapel. I didn’t know what I was supposed to be seeing at first but there she was, an unmistakable wide smile on a dark, shadowy figure, staring down at us from the window. This was probably the first time (at least in a while) that I have seen a ghost that clearly, and it definitely won’t be the last..
