Camp Quaranup might now be a favourite site for school camps, but the question remains … is it haunted?

Its past history as a quarantine station lends itself to the mystery, but who are you gonna call to prove it one way or another?

The ghostbusters, of course!

Luckily, a group of intrepid purveyors of the paranormal was on hand and prepared to spend 48 hours on the premises, aiming to find out for sure if — and by whom — the camp is haunted.

The result of the Afterlife Party team’s stay is a nine-episode investigation filmed entirely on site that, they say, answers the question once and for all.

The series is in the creepy-spooky genre, filmed in the dark with gasps and splutters throughout, and follows hot on the heels of the group’s other investigations at Patrick Taylor Cottage and the Vancouver Arts Centre.

Albany, in fact, has been a treasure trove of other-worldly surprises, according to paranormal investigator and producer Chantelle “Kat” Kerr.

“About 35 per cent of our followers are from Albany who watch everything we create,” she said.

“The city’s rich heritage lends itself to great stories which bridge the gap between history and spooky.

“The Camp Quaranup series is a respectful investigation which offers a unique look at Albany’s heritage and speaks directly to the community’s fascination with the quarantine station’s dark history.

“The series was created to accurately showcase the site’s true history and significance, while documenting real-time unexplained phenomena, providing tangible evidence for the paranormal activity locals have reported for decades.”

The group had to jump through hoops to get permission to stay on the site and make their film, which was given the thumbs up by the Department of Creative Industries, Tourism and Sport.

The Camp Quaranup: 48 Hour Lockdown series is now complete with the launch of the final episode on October 4.

Having stayed on the premises with their ghost-hunting equipment and cameras, Ms Kerr said the group was convinced the site is haunted.

“There’s a spirit there who was giving us feelings of what it felt like when they were unwell,” she said.

“It was in the second-class male bathroom of the quarantine building and the two investigators who were in the room at the time started really coughing and losing their breath.”

There was also evidence from the isolation hospital which was picked up on a camera microphone, she said.

“We captured three EVPs — electronic voice phenomena,” she said.

“The first female voice said: ‘You shouldn’t be here’.

“A second voice said: ‘Not infected’.

Then a third female said: ‘You shouldn’t be here’.

“It was such a cool interaction.”

For Ms Kerr, seeking out the paranormal has been a part of her life.

“I probably watched a lot of horror stuff as a starting point,” she said.

“But I started wondering if there was any truth to it.

“Ghosts and ghost stories have been part of history forever so there must be something real about it.

“We want to go about it authentically — our main aim is to capture some evidence and give the audience the sort of experiences we have had.

“Everyone in the group had had paranormal experiences before we got together as a team.”
