However, thanks in no small part to the sterling efforts of a working group comprising local political and business leaders, not only is the stadium still standing, but it has also secured several key partnerships, including with Moana Pasifika Super Rugby and as Auckland FC's training ground, to help ensure its longer-term future.

Mark Wallbank is a founder of Paranormal NZ, and says he's always been intrigued by ghosts. As a young person, the idea that these were mere figments of people's imaginations "didn't stack up" for him. For the past 40 years, he's been visiting locations, detailing and scrutinising "ghost encounters" all over the world.

Especially for this Hallowe'en edition, Mark kindly spoke to ShoreLines about two of Paranormal NZ's ongoing investigations nearby.
