Greenpoint Lighthouse Arguably one of the most recognizable landmarks in Cape Town, the red-and-white striped Green Point lighthouse dates back to the 1800’s, and with it’s historical significance comes hearsay of ghost stories and paranormal activity that’s swirled around for generations. The story goes that the lighthouse was once guarded by a lighthouse keeper named W.S West who disappeared for reasons unknown. However, his spirit still roams around the tower as a one-legged figure called ‘Daddy West’ – it said that his voice can be heard echoing along the tower walls late night. In 2014, the Cape Town Paranormal Investigations Unit went on an expedition to the lighthouse and came back with this recording of a demonic voice, which supposedly provides some concrete evidence to the rumours. #haunted #hauntedhistory #hauntedhistoryofsouthafrica #GreenpointLighthouseghosy #capetownghost #capetownhauntings #Ghost #haunting #paranormal Credit:CapeTownetc (at Green Point, Western Cape, South Africa) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb2TXrCjAhF/?utm_medium=tumblr

South African Gallows This area known as Gallows Hill - the current site of the Cape Town Traffic department - which was then a chalky rise about 20 feet high, got its name from the gallows that was put there, high on the hill. This was to warn all the accupant of ships entering Cape Town harbor, not to make trouble. An early 18th century map actually shows the gallows and two small crosses at the foot of the dune closest to the town. The official gallows later become the site of Pretoria Federal Prison, where between 1902 and 1989, more than 2949 prisoners were executed, most for the crime of murder. Out of the 2949, 14 women were executed between 1959 & 1989 of which, the serial killer Daisy De Melker, who murder her 2 husbands and her son, was probably the most infamous. It's is rumored that Daisy de Melker still haunts her previous residence.
