It’s raining luminous stones … inside the house

In early 1887, the Large family, living on a remote Cooyal property near the central west NSW town of Mudgee, was terrorised by an inexplicable nightly rain of luminous stones falling, and sometimes floating, inside their house. At first, some of the Large’s 15 children were suspected of larking around, but it soon became apparent that the strange rain of stones was not the result of a practical joke perpetrated by any of the Large brood.
Was the family the unwitting victims of poltergeist activity, similar perhaps to that experienced by the Bowens in 1921 by the stone-throwing ghost of Guyra? weirdaustralia.com/2011/10/22/poltergeist-rocks-town-the-stone-throwing-ghost-of-guyra/
“A farmer named Large has reported to the police that, for several nights, himself and family have been terrified, in consequence of stones, some weighing one pound, continually dropping inside the house, apparently dropping through the roof,” reported the Kilmore Free Press on 3 March 1887.
News of this mysterious indoor rain of stones soon spread throughout the district, causing quite a sensation. Soon, visitors were turning up at the Large family’s remote homestead to witness the inexplicable occurrence for themselves. Many of those visitors were not left disappointed.
“All who have visited the place, seeing for themselves, the police included, persist in applying what they regard an appropriate term ‘ghostly missives’ to the huge stones, which have dropped into the house when both doors and windows have been secured.”
And according to the report, both believers and sceptics alike witnessed the phenomena.
“It is an easy matter to convince superstitious people that alleged occurrences are facts, but when sceptics go and see and sit with the woman and her husband in the same room, and have stones dropping round about them they are very glad to be rid of such unpleasant associations.”
Queensland’s Warwick Argus, on 22 March, also reported on the experiences of the many curious visitors to the house.
“The constables and the visitors made every effort to discover where the stones came from, but without avail. They watched both inside and outside of the building, but failed to detect the presence of the stone thrower.
“As soon as the stones fall the children of the house pick them up and hand them over to the visitors with feelings of awe. The affair has created some excitement in the district, and is occupying the minds of many level headed persons who, up to the present, have been unable to discover a clue to the mystery.”
