I ain’t afraid of no ghost!

Nothing gets your imagination pumping like exploring an abandoned Gaol, creepy cemetery or a haunted hotel in the dead of the night.

Australia may not have the long colonial history like other grand countries around the world, but we still have our fair share of macabre haunting stories of the convict era.

Even as early as the Victorian gold rush, belief in ghosts, ghost stories and hauntings were popular subjects for entertainment and attracted significant attention with public gatherings.

If you have a fascination in the darker side of history or just starting out in the art of ghost hunting, we recommend you suss out the award-winning team at Twisted History for an array of unique evening tours across Victoria.

Here are the best ghost tours in Victoria:

1. Geelong Gaol – As you enter the prison gates after dark you will be haunted by stories of convicts, murderers and lunatics who still haunt the building.

2. Melbourne Chinatown – Hear spine-tingling stories of Melbourne’s haunted past as you’re guided through the streets and lanes of the oldest Chinese community in the western world.

3. Bendigo – For a night you won’t forget, the team will share electrifying stories of Bendigo’s haunted past, from unexplained paranormal activity to regular ghostly sightings. Starting December 28!

4. Castlemaine Cemetery – History will be brought to life as you explore one of the most interesting Cemetery in Victoria. Nestled in a tree lined gully, the cemetery holds the stories of the 20,000 people who are interred within the grounds.

5. Paranormal Investigation – Are you a Paranormal expert or just starting out in the art of ghost hunting? Either way, there’s the choice of two-hour Paranormal Investigation tours at Geelong Gaol, and three-hour investigations at Werribee homestead and the ghost town of Steiglitz.
