A stranger dressed in a hideous mask steps from the crowd and puts his hand on little Damian Godson.
It is the last picture ever taken of the boy before he is lost in a fire aboard the ghost train at Sydney's Luna Park.
Australian Tragic - our top ten darkest tales
While waiting at Circular Quay for a ferry to take them to Sydney's Luna Park on June 9, 1979, the Godson family are approached by a Satanic-looking figure dressed in a loincloth and wearing a mask with horns.
The creature voicelessly places his hand on young Damian Godson's shoulder. Somebody snaps a photograph. It is the last photograph of the boy ever taken - hours later, Damian, his brother, Craig, and his father, John, will burn in the fire that sweeps through The Ghost Train. Nobody will ever see the horned man again.
