Who the Hell is Jack Sim?

Writer, Historian, Speaker | Brisbane Ghost Tours, Brisbane Crime Stories, Brisbane Murder Mysteries

Brisbane's infamous “man in black”, Jack Sim, walks the shadowy streets of town in search of stories and tales of horrible history. Since the last century he has published true tales of Crime Scenes, Ghost Stories and Prison History from Boggo Road Gaol. You may also have seen him late at night undertaking his Crime Tours and Ghost Tours , with a collection of other knowledgeable hosts, in historic sites such as Boggo Road Gaol, Toowong Cemetery and South Brisbane Cemetery.

Jack is not alone in his passion for the darker side of the Sunshine State. He has collected a motley crew of historians, journalists, and researchers and authors who spend hours trawling through archives and pouring over keyboards to bring titles such as Who Killed Betty Shanks? by Ken Blanch, Escape! from Boggo Road Gaol and Horse Tracks and Stirrup Irons by Caroline Stephenson and himself.
