The ghosts of websites past
Websites were meant to be updated ... or were they?

On the search engines Boscobel Stud is referred to as "one the oldest and most successful stud farms in Australia,located on the NSW Southern Highlands."

'Age' doesn't just apply to the property it would seem. Keeping in mind that Boscobel was put up for auction in May of 2005, it is interesting to see that the stud's website is still live, and worse - it contains a page that says "to be updated in August 1999".

I'm told that there are all number of ways of removing ghosts from a haunted house: you can have the property blessed, or find a psychic to communicate with the ghosts to encourage them to move on from this world and "into the light” (whatever that means). I'm not actually sure the Boscobel ghost needs that much TLC - or consulting advice ... someone just needs to send a simple email to the domain host asking them to pull the plug on the site.
