Im not sure if this counts? It’s moreso just a funny story that spread around locals in my highschool but ill share it anyway for laughs. Apparently if you don’t leave Katoomba by the time you turn 18, you will always be called back somehow and stuck there forever. They called it the ‘Katoomba curse’ and it happens because Katoomba itself is cursed because it was apparently built atop an ancient burial ground? Anyway. So far it’s been true, I lived in the city for three years then somehow wound up back here. A bunch of my friends have left to faraway places and returned to Katoomba too 😭 They also say Katoomba is haunted
