“Most Haunted” functions here as a recurring printed descriptor rather than one stable named figure. The matched records most often sit within the “Ghost and Apparition Accounts” archive category; ordinary, literary, and supernatural uses may coexist, so the entry should not be read as a single sighting tradition. The accepted archive contains 13 records from 2006–2024. The largest coded regional group is Australian Capital Territory (4), and the largest source group is Australian Broadcasting Corporation (13). These distributions describe archive coverage, not real-world incidence.
