It is with great regret that we have decided to abandon plans to submit a DA to Council to resume the Picton Ghost Hunts.

The decision is driven by the opposition we have encountered and the unreasonable attitude of a small number of critics. We no longer have the enthusiasm to compensate for the personal abuse, the intrusion on our personal life and the red tape which simply makes it too hard and too much work for too little return.

Therefore the Picton Ghost Hunts will not re-open and this iconic legacy Liz Vincent left to Picton is lost - and for that we are deeply sorry.

And finally thank you to all of our supporters for their sustained encouragement and backing – your disappointment is no less than our own.
