Get your freak on at these haunted houses and paranormal prisons across Victoria.

In the lead-up to Halloween on 31 October, we look at the top haunted spots around the state where you can search for those things that go bump in the night.


Many believe Frederick Federici has been ‘residing’ at the Princess Theatre since his death.

Built by convicts, the brutal and unforgiving Geelong Gaol was the longest-running jail in Victoria.
Victoria’s haunted hotels
Historic hotels are often said to host paranormal and spooky activity, as they were places of great energy – oh, and maybe also because hotel cellars were often used as makeshift morgues. These three ‘spirit’ hotspots in country Victoria are must visits:
Railway Hotel, Dunolly
Visitors to this historic hotel who sit on the bed in one of the rooms on the upper level are reportedly often pushed out of the way by the spirit of an old lady. No one knows who she is and how she came to be at the hotel, which was built in 1861.
Kangaroo Hotel, Maldon
Located on the old Cobb & Co coach route, the hotel stables are said to be active with the ghosts of 10 horses which perished in a tragic stable fire in the 1870s.
Royal Hotel, Seymour
One of the oldest pubs in Victoria, it’s said the head of bushranger Dan ‘Mad Dog’ Morgan, who was shot and killed at Peechelba Station near Wangaratta in 1865, was once displayed on the bar during its journey to Melbourne for an autopsy. A replica of Morgan’s death mask is often used in paranormal investigations in an attempt to trigger activity.
