GOLD MELBOURNE GAOL - PARANORMAL INVESTIGATION

Are you brave enough to explore and investigate the haunted confines of Melbourne’s Oldest Gaol?
For the last 5 years members of the GhostSeekers Team have been involved in conducting public paranormal investigations at the Old Melbourne Gaol.

The Old Melbourne Gaol was built over three stages between 1841 and 1862. It consisted of three main cell blocks: the first cell block was constructed of sandstone on the site of the current City Watch House, the second cell block (male and surviving block) was constructed of bluestone and the third female cell block was also constructed of bluestone. Unfortunately the female block was torn down after the closure of the Gaol in 1929 to make way for the building of the current RMIT campus.

The Gaol was briefly re-opened during the Second World War to house military prisoners. Many American and Australian military personnel were held in the Gaol for a variety of offences, such as theft, rape, and unauthorised leave. It also housed a German Navel Warship Captain.

There were 133 hangings within the Gaol Complex, the most famous being that of Bush Ranger Edward “Ned” Kelly on 11 November 1880.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS?

Come and join us in this unique experience where we help YOU conduct your own Paranormal Investigations in the Old Melbourne Gaol.

You will be shown how to use a range of real ghost hunting equipment to help you search for evidence of the unknown.

This is not an ghost tour for the faint hearted!. In small groups, you will be placed in a number of cells in the old Melbourne Goal where you will be left to your own devices to use the ghost hunting equipment and conduct your own paranormal investigations. Cell doors will be closed and the lights will be turned off while you try and the answer that mysterious question 'Are Ghosts Real?' (don't worry we are only a scream away if you get too scared)

Part way through the night you will have the opportunity to be locked in a cell by YOURSELF as we conduct an enticement to try and stir up the paranormal.

Take home your own conclusion and maybe something more.....camera's are a must
