**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. 

Our paranormal investigations are unlike any other, making us the best ghost tours in Victoria!
