Hello, is there anybody in there?
There's been a bit of the old paranormal activity around UTAS of late.
Things going bump in the night, weird noises from some schools, and strange vomit-like ectoplasmic pools around the bar and the Engineers "hangout".
But enough about that. We got a message from some keen young paranormalists here at the UTAS Blog asking if they could check out the old Bio-Med Library, which as everyone knows was well spooky.
We set them up with The Mercury, and they did a "shoot".
The University, however is like some graveyard. All quiet. Except for the vast amounts of money flowing, mist-like into various pockets.
We sent this polite and considerate email to UTAS.
Hi Media Office,
We've had a request at the UTAS Blog (http://utas.ws/) from the Australian Paranormal Investigation Unit (A.P.I.U) (http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=132071260450&ref=ts) to facilitate an investigation by the APIU into a "haunted" University of Tasmania building. APIU have investigated sites such as Willow Court and Franklin House.
The APIU has a history of thorough investigations and this would make a great story, especially if they find something! And if they don't at least uni students will be able to study in the building in confidence that their pens won't disappear. The UTAS bio-med library has been renovated since any reported "occurrences" (http://utas.ws/2008/08/29/paranormal-university-of-tasmania-2.aspx) but we all hope an investigation can take place.
This would make a great little story showing some unique features of Tasmania, and we hope we can get coverage in The Mercury. The UTAS Blog has contacted the Mercury with details of this exciting project.
What would this research entail? Basically, the APIU would like to have a few hours, after hours, in which to conduct their investigation. Upstairs would be great, but downstairs might be more acceptable to UTAS.
This is a great opportunity to show that the University of Tasmania is not just a hot-bed of Union dissatisfaction, but a modern, and progressive University.

Straight into the black-hole that is the University of Tasmania's age-old tradition of dealing with anything that is "different".

Interesting to see the uni has a paranormal interest, we are team strigoi and we have been conducting investigations around tas for over 5 years, plus i have over 25 years of research behind me. We are interested in old Bio-Med Library and would love to conduct an investigation. please contact us anytime for a chat as we are Launceston based.

Paranormalists coming out of the woodwork!
Hi drew, we'll get in contact with you. We haven't heard from APIU for a while so don't know if they got lucky or not.

Hi Drew,
Sounds great, unfortunately the University is a bit shitty with us at the moment. So any investigation on Uni grounds would have to be "discrete" or even "guerrilla".
Still, that could be fun!
If you're interested we might have more chance of getting you into the "Mayfair in the Bay". Well, maybe.
If you're around Hobart take a walk in there. One of the UTAS Blog members young kids called it "the spooky place" and he was only 6yo.
We'll contact them and see how we go, they can't be more uptight than the University of Tasmania!
