Eerie voices and strange sightings... even the Army avoids it at night. When the sun shines on the exquisite gardens and tranquil lake surrounding eye-catching Fortuna villa on Bendigo's New Chum Reef, eerie stories about ghosts seem far-fetched.

Today at Fortuna when soldiers talk of "George" they are referring to the ghost of George Lansell who, if you believe the evidence, still regularly stalks the corridors and balconies. Tony Fawcett
