Best Ghost Tours Melbourne and Victoria

Lying quietly in the Western District of Victoria, near the dramatic Grampians, stands a breathtaking French Gothic homestead built in the 1870s for wealthy pastoralist John Dixon Wyselaskie — and many believe he never left. With its sweeping architecture, eerie presence, and powerful history, this grand estate is one of Victoria’s most atmospheric haunted locations.

Join Kyneton Paranormal for an unforgettable small-group ghost tour and paranormal investigation (maximum 10 guests) where you’ll hear the knocks, footsteps, and whispers that still echo through the halls. Guided by a professional investigator and psychic medium, you’ll use real ghost-hunting equipment to connect with the spirits that remain.

**Abandoned Hospital Tour!**

While not entirely abandoned, this 1930s hospital has been de-registered and is now a workspace for various businesses in the Castlemaine area. It operated until around 2000 before being decommissioned. The long hallways still feature surgery and patient rooms, and there are three levels to explore. 

We have access to the entrance, hallways, cellar, and several rooms, though not all areas of the building are open. We know there are both residual and intelligent spirits present. So far, we have encountered a nurse, an anesthetist, a security guard, a patient, and a kitchen worker, along with spirits named Stephanie, James, Crystal, and Deborah. 

Join us by sitting quietly and listening for knocks, moving doors, cries, voices, and footsteps! You will have access to paranormal investigation equipment. With a small group size, you can truly appreciate the creaks and groans of this eerie place.
