QUEANBEYAN’S Nichole Overall is heading to prison and is looking for others to share her “creepy” short stretch for charity.

“This is a one-night-only event not to be missed!” she says.

“The evening includes a terrifying journey inside an abandoned building transformed for the occasion, music and a barbecue when all the screaming is done.

“Over the course of its long and colourful past, Queanbeyan’s had its share of convicts, bushrangers, prison escapees – and many a reputedly haunted location linked to crime and mayhem.

“In a unique regional event, the public will have the chance to explore this mysterious and darker side.

“Participants will be able to walk through deserted corridors, silent rooms, restricted areas and empty cells – although, perhaps not so empty. It’s a place where your worst nightmares come together behind the barred windows.

“The now abandoned building at the heart of this stands on ground which has witnessed much. If a pre-requisite of a haunting is a particularly intense tragedy or emotion, there’s been no shortage of them here.

In aid of the Queanbeyan Children’s Special Needs Group, there will be three sessions: “Family Fun” at 7.30pm; “Are You Brave Enough?”, 9pm and “Terror Behind the Walls” at midnight.
