Harold of Blinman House

Harold hangs at the old police station now
An old miner or an overlander they say
Not everyone will see him as he takes a bow 
He’s as quiet as a mouse when you stay

Nobody knows how he came to be
Perhaps he died in the cells one night
After a night on a drinking spree
Those attuned to him will see him outright

The Friends of Blinman House have found him again
Not a malevolent spirit whose presence is flaunted
He returns to the House as a friend
You may see him if visiting Blinman House as it’s haunted.
