Haunted and Spooky Places – Ghost Tours of Australia

Ghost Tours of Australia

Australia’s history has many things to adore. Starting from the “Dreamtime” ending on to the historical paranormal tales, Australia gives you everything. Talking about ghost tours and haunted places, Australia has many, ranging from lunatic asylums to convict prisons or even houses. The interesting part is Australia allows you to feel the unusual things and paranormal vibes coming from the haunted places. Here are some haunted places to go for ghost tours.

1. Old Melbourne Gaol

The terrifying history of this place has led it to appear on the list of haunted sites in Australia. More than 100 hangings took place inside the gaol between 1863 and 1924, making it a heart of crime, law, and order. The skull of Legendary Ned Kelley was also displayed in the museum until it was stolen. Now, this haunted place is a tourist attraction because of the spooky ghost tours they offer. The “Hangman Night tour” and ghosts give visitors all the details of the past.

2. Devil’s Pool

How about having the ghost tours at a swimming pool? It is indeed interesting but it was not for the 17 men who were lured in this watery grave in the past half-century. The place is remembered by the epitaph, “He came for a visit… and stayed forever”.  The historical paranormal tale of this haunted pool goes that a run-away bride named Oolana took her life in this sacred yet haunted indigenous site. She was stopped from marrying her true love and her curse has lived with that pool ever since. The spooky ghost tours of this haunted site can make you go “eerie”, and remember to take care of yourself, Oolana can give you a surprise visit at any time.

3. Port Arthur

The historical paranormal tale of this site started from the death of the hardened criminals in convict days followed by gunmen Martin Bryant who massacred 35 visitors in 1996. Since then the place has reported above 2000 apparitions. Even the hotels nearby will encourage you to fill a “usual occurrence form”. Visit this place for the uncanny ghost tours and feel the paranormal vibe yourself.   

4. Ararat Lunatic Asylum

This haunted indigenous site has many ghost stories to tell along with some thrilling ghost tours. The estimated deaths in this place are reported to be around 13,000 over its 140 years of operation.

This amusement park will not amaze you alone at night. The ghost tours of this amusement park include the ghosts of a young girl and a man named Jack Darke, who was killed there.
