ARCHIVE SUMMARY

Ghost Stories appears mainly in descriptive belief records that set out a named figure's role, attributes, relationships, or ceremonial context rather than presenting a modern eyewitness sighting. A substantial secondary group (1 records) comes from the “Ghost Legends” archive category, so the archive does not present the label as one uniform account type. The accepted archive contains 4 records from 2016–2025. The largest coded regional group is Tasmania (1), and the largest source group is Australian Broadcasting Corporation (4). These distributions describe archive coverage, not real-world incidence.
