Steve Irwin of Spooks' tells us some tall tales from the city to the outback. Monte Cristo is just one of the places people feel a shiver going up their spine: phantom piano playing, apparitions at the foot of the bed, a chill in the air. They've all been reported. But spooks don't just scare people away, they attract tourists, and become part of local legend. The eeriness of a place is often what starts the ball rolling, and it seems Canberra has it in spades. Tim the Yowie Man: What makes Canberra the nation's capital so spooky, is the number of ghosts and pesky poltergeists, lurking in many of the national institutions. Now if you go to the Parliamentary Triangle in Canberra, it's the area where all the national institutions are, such as the National Library, the Gallery, the National Museum of Australia, Old Parliament House. Each of those buildings and many others harbours a ghost.
