King Billy Hut - Australian Mystery

Halloweek on Strewth - Tale 7 of 7
It’s the middle of the 1960s, up on the Victorian high country, in a cattlemen’s hut. Seventeen-year-old John Lovick wakes on the top bunk with a pair of hands around his throat. Whatever comes down off that bunk with him, his father’s cattle dogs won’t go near it. That night, for the first time in his life, Jack Lovick bolts the door.

Fifteen years later, the police ring the family to ask an interesting series of questions about that night.

For Halloweek, this is a true story from the Lovick family, told by the people who were there.
