Hanging Rock

Three Private school girls went missing at Hanging Rock

In 1900

An eerie tragic event

Enjoying a planned picnic

No one knew what was about to impend

Lunch finished, four girls and teacher

Decided to explore

What happened was a whole lot more

Miranda, Edith, Irma and Ms Mc Craw

Cannot describe what they saw.

In an unexplained event,

All vanished into the rock

Except for Edith,

Edith returns to the group in complete shock

Hysterical and can’t detail what happened

But she knew it wasn’t imagined

The surrounding town descends into chaos

The searchers will not give up

For their search for the lost.

Irma found unconscious but unharmed

Strang things continued

It became a real issue

Withdrawn students, staff quitting unexpectedly

All at the picnic had behaviour changes

It was progressively

School girl commits suicide

Headmistress jumps of Hanging Rock

Killing herself

What did they see, whatever it was

They kept it to themselves

Some believe Paranormal Activity occurred

when the 1975 film premiered

clocks stopped at 12 pm, watches stopped at 6 pm,

coincidental or cohered

Rabbit Hunters find frilled Calico at the rock, believed

To be Ms McCraw’s

With no other evidence

They all withdraw

None of the missing women wherever found

Hey search began from the ground

Still, till this day, there is an eerie feeling up the top

The mystery of wonder

Keeps us to ponder

Theories are they followed a lizard into a crack in the rock

(a hole in space), how could this be when there is

No trace

It’s acknowledged the crack in the rock is a time warp

And they are in another dimension

These myths leave you

With apprehension

Another is there was a large red cloud above the rock

They went up into it, vanished

So many different articles

Published

They will never be found, this case will never be resolved

What is the truth

We will never know

fact or fiction
