Poltergeists or mythical creatures: The mystery of Gippsland's Haunted Hills

The Monitor dived into some old newspaper articles to get to the bottom of how a hilly area south of Moe became known as the Haunted Hills.

A 1947 article in the Advocate says the story goes that in the 1840s/50s, the track that ran through the Haunted Hills was a settler road. 

In the settler days, when cattle were taken from Melbourne to the regions, a drover was guiding their animals up the eastern slopes of the hills without difficulty, but on the way down the western slopes the animals became restless.

They broke away from the drover and his dogs, bolted down the hill through the scrub and were never seen again.
