POLTERGEISTS could give Myer Geelong shoppers more than they bargain for if old Morrie Jacobs has his way.
Morrie’s ghostly spectre is said to haunt the store, where he maintained a draper, clothier, boot and shoe store dating back to the Gold Rush days.
Jacobs, the one-time “Champion of Cheapness”, is the chief suspect behind reports of books, shoes, basketballs and other goods moving about mysteriously within the store.
Shoulders have been tapped, footsteps heard and even a translucent image sighted of a balding elderly man in a grey waistcoat with baggy grey pants, black armbands and silver fob chain, Geelong historian Kerri Lee reported a few years back.
“Books and shoes have been thrown from shelves and across the floor, and a row of television and radios inexplicably switched on,” Lee told the Advertiser.
But the best account of old Morrie’s paranormal activities is one that will send a shiver up your spine.
“Late one night, three managers were surveying the store when they noticed that a basketball was out of place . . . three foot off the floor, spinning in mid-air at the top of the escalators,” Lee said.
You might hear old Morrie humming, too, if you listen closely next time you visit: “My store, Myer.”
CAN you identify this flying object spotted over Bournemouth on Monday?
Joe Weil saw it in the skies above Parley Manor. He says: “This object was in the sky for more than four hours.
“Although it moved up and down the object never changed position in every photo so it could not have been a balloon or any other object flying on a cord.
“I phoned Hurn airport, the general manger got the tower to have a look and they could see nothing on radar.”
It’s not the first time a mysterious object in the sky has made people wonder about an alien presence.
So was this a light Aircraft or Elderly Aliens dropping by for an Ice Cream?
