The Guyra Ghost: What Everyone Saw and No One Could Explain
from If These Trees Could Talk · host Shannon Walters
A small town. A quiet cottage. And something that refused to be explained. In 1921, the small town of Guyra became the centre of one of Australia’s most famous poltergeist cases. Stones smashed through windows, objects moved, and police, reporters and locals gathered around a quiet cottage — watching something they couldn’t explain. In this episode Shannon and Megan step into the story as it unfolded, using a 1921 newspaper article to break down the events, the theories, and the mystery at the centre of it all. At the heart of it is twelve-year-old Minnie Bowen. A child. A house under watch. And a story that still has no clear answer. If you’d like to explore more — including links, resources, and related conversations, you can find everything from this episode on our website via the show notes at www.ifthesetreescouldtalk.com.au.
