Description
An inner city ghost story, maybe......
This cache is hidden next to a particular building in Launceston that I have frequently walked past on my way to a very nice brunch around the corner at one of my favourite eating establishments. There has been many a time on a Sunday morning that the Geobabe and I have gone past here and heard activity within the building, yet the doors are padlocked shut!
Could this be a real haunting?
I am not so sure of that, but there is something going on in there.
Shouldn't be too hard to find, there is the usual log and pencil in there with a bit of room for a swap if you feel the urge.
Have fun!!

out and about with Lil Rafa caching in Launceston for the weekend to get shots for the battleship GCA game and this was on the list to FIND TFTCTNLN log dry.
I had an appointment in the city so this cache was nearby as I had parked in the parking area. No muggles so a quick find.

Up North for a few days for family commitments, grabbing caches here and there and this was a quick find once we took the seat. TFTC

Thankfully no evidence of ghosts around this evening, just a few nearby smokers having a chat, otherwise a nice quiet muggle-free find. I imagine this could be a bit busy during business hours. Thanks Ghostwhowalks for the cache.

On a wander around Lonnie we found this little laneway. A fairly useful cache as it happened 
With SSR in tow, the egg and I were keen to find this cache before heading back to Hobart. We were a bit nervous about some of the nocturnal activities here as it was already dark. A quick find with no disturbances and we took advantage of the facilities before the long road home. TFTC

#GA894 - 19:10; Back in Tassie on family business, so the opportunity to collect a few more of the local caches was too good to pass up. It was the last night in town, so made it out for a final run to collect a few more on my 'to do' list for this trip. Wandered over to this one having just bagged the virtual in Princes Square. Another nice quick find and sign. TFTC Ghosthoowalks

I remembered to look at my GCA caching app today and was pleased to see a cache not far from my hotel. The number of times I have stayed here and I missed this one.
So in the dark a headed for GZ and after looking in the wrong place to start I move a few metres and soon had the cache in hand, log signed and replaced.
I didn't here any ghostly noises while I was looking.
Thanks for the cache.

Cached in Launceston with Grandaughter Holly, in the rain. No 1 of 17 for the day. Qucik easy find
Too many muggles and lots of ghostly noise from the Loo. Will call again when we have left people around.
A nice easy find by Loz. Did not know that this particular facility even existed, will have to destroy it some day .. thanks ..!

A gurgling rushing sound came from within just as I found the cache. Someone walked out looking rather relieved to have got out.

Yes, the building was open so I made a bit of a detour inside before finding the cache. 
Thanks for the cache Ghosthoowalks.

The building was open, but no sounds came from within.

A quiet Sunday afternoon made for a good time to nab a couple of inner city caches. This was one of them. It was all quiet inside too. Always good to know where these spots are.
Easy find, nice cache. Didn't know that place was even there!

Good to discover this cache as I had no idea these particular conveniences were here!

New this site existed but didn't realise there were separate listings to the main Geocaching web site. Therefore this is my first find of a GCA cache. One down, plenty to go. TFTC

789. Open today thankfully. After that I sat this time to have a ponder and then heard the noises (no it wasn't time lapse).... I was flushed with success as was Mr Crapper.

Lots of people out and about now we've finally got a sunny day. Eventually there was a gap between muggle attacks and the find was quickly made by mr sharnie's tribe. TFTC
Found it but had to return later to retrieve as too many muggles around and then a muggle came along and blocked the pick by sitting down right in front of me, leaving me to pretend I was waiting to meet someone before walking away empty handed.
Quick find thanks to the hint. Sure I have been here to find another cache before? 10/06/13 10:31 AM

A good one to do on a Sunday as we only had one muggle to contend with. Waiting for something scary to happen as we sat and logged but we may have to come back in the dark for that to happen. Thanks.
Found it well geomissus did very tricky one in the dark with no torch! Good fun tho

Hi Ghosthoowalks
This cache is located near a building that I wish I didn't have to stop near to find a cache; but I did!!
After being completely shawn yesterday in the BIG SHAVE, I didn't need the looks I got from passer-by'ers as I looked for that cache near that building with something going on in their; NOT!
Logged the cache at 0809hrs.
TFTC, the unscheduled pit stop and continual wondering;
Cheers OldSaint.

Well, the gates were not padlocked today. Whilst one iof us made use of the facilities, the other made a quick find (due to accurate coordinates). TFTC Ghosthoowalks.
Found the cache location with no trouble, just had to wait for what seemed like a never ending procession of muggles to leave the area. My patience was rewarded, and I soon had the log signed. TFTC

this cache had added scariness about it at night and with the lone person sitting watching us. I had eiry feelings he was either a ghost or just dead
a fun cache to finish off the day with

A quick find after dinner at the Cock 'n' Bull in Launceston. There was a fellow sitting on the ground on the far side of the car park - was he Thomas?
Woo Hoo *FTF* @17:50hrs. Made a quick find a good time of the day to be lurking around the area as it may be a high muggle zone through the day. No mysterious noises tonight. TFTC Took TB
