The shower block is called the "evil" part of the Quarantine Station. Many psychics have felt some sort of sexual abuse took place in one of the corners of this eerie place that involved a small child, hence the "evil" title for the building. Many who walk in the building feel a presence coming from that corner and quite often see something or hear screams coming from there. I do know that it definitely has it's own resident spirit, good or bad it plays the occasional trick on an unsuspecting tour members every now and then.
The guides at the Quarantine Station all refuse to enter the shower block. I think this is more of a gimmick to add to the ambiance of the tour rather than actual fear holding them back, after all what harm can a shower or lights turning themselves on do?.
By the way - the light in the left photo there is from a lantern, I quite often get asked about this, it's nothing paranormal sorry.
A common occurrance on the ghost tours is for one of the bulbs in the shower block to explode.
One resident gave his family a tour of the shower block, feeling uneasy he encouraged everyone to return back to his residence as dusk was approaching and none of the roads had lights along with most of the buildings. The family however, insisted on seeing the shower block. They entered the building and saw the cable box which contained exposed cables that were hanging out. The building had no electricity and to make sure and prove this the resident flipped the light switch a couple of times.
They all walked down the center aisle and upon reaching the third cubicle, the end door (which was rusted open) suddenly slammed shut. To the surprise of everyone the lights came on and footsteps paced around at the opposite end of the shower block. Do I need to mention that everyone exited the shower block at a fast pace? When they walked out the lights turned off. Decided to have another look they walked in again, once again the lights turned on when approaching the third cubicle.
December 1992 a hen's night went for a tour and when inside the shower block (after being told the above story) the third cubicle shower turned on. The women all screamed and ran out. No one had actually turned the shower on. Two of them dared to go back inside and turn the shower off, once inside a loud banging sound came from the other end of the showers which sounded as if someone was kicking the corrugated iron. They all nearly had a stroke on the spot and ran for it out of there! At the time there was no one else around that could of turned the shower on or created the banging noises and the women were all too terrified to be playing tricks on each other.
