Lost Media: The Guyra Ghost

 On June 25, 1921 A film called, The Guyra Ghost Mystery by John Cosgrove was released in Australia. The film was based on the real-life accounts of the Bowen family living in Guyra, South Wales, Australia. The family was suffering from unexplained attacks on their house believing that a ghost was bothering them. In the film, Sherlock Doyle would help the family with their ghost problem. The family would play themselves in the film.

 The attacks included were showers of rocks being thrown at the home and loud banging. One of the children, Minnie, would later admit some of the loud sounds and rock-throwing was her as she was trying to scare her sibling. The events seem to have ceased when Minnie came back from a visit with her Grandma at the Glenn Inn. It's likely that there was never any ghost just jokesters.

A 100 years later the film is now lost to time.
