5: Whatipu and the Coast of Ghosts

What if a whole area, in this case, an entire coastline, is a cursed and ghostly realm? Whatipu and the beaches along New Zealand’s West coast have had countless reports of strange incidents over the years. The Gibbons Homestead at Whatipu Lodge is said to be the home of a daytime apparition, The Pink Lady. The caves that used to host dances and parties are still echoing the sounds of laughter and conversation, decades later… Join Angus King as he explores the rich and varied stories – history and legend – of Whatipu.
