Spirit Stones | 9:30pm Thursday, 09 Jul 2009 - ABC1 TV (Australia)

Spirit Stones is a documentary set in the southwest corner of Australia. On many occasions in the 1940s and 50s stones fell on Aboriginal (Noongar) camps. These 'showers' delivered stones in locations up to 250 kilometres apart, falling at various places for hours, sometimes days and even weeks and months. Landowners, Aboriginal farm labourers and inquisitive townsfolk were all witness to falling stones. Though these events stretched over many years not one person was ever hurt.

The Noongar elders reflect on the social and environmental conditions in relationship to the falling stones. Through intimate storytelling the eyewitnesses reignite their memories of these sometimes scary events. Some say it was the "little people" who did it, some say it was an angry ghost. Today there is still no scientific explanation, but these events had a real impact on people.
