Victorian Ghost Hoaxes in Australia

Did you know that in late 19th century Australia, ordinary people would dip sheets in toxic glowing paint and run around at night pretending to be ghosts? Neither did we, but Chris dug up this oddball story from Jen's home state of Victoria and was excited to tell Jen all about it! The story involves a angry mob chasing a preacher; a protective mom siccing her dog on a creepy dude; calls for vigilante justice; hallucinogenic moonshine and a "very fine" draper's dummy; a lady dressed up in a glow-in-the-dark wedding dress and playing guitar on a rooftop, and more.
