GhostSeekers Australia presents a Unique Firsthand Experience into the World of Paranormal Investigations.

Old Melbourne Gaol Investigations (Conducted Monthly)

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.

Our Investigations allow members of the public to conduct their own paranormal investigation with the assistance of the latest ghost hunting equipment in the many haunted cells of the Old Melbourne Gaol.

Any results obtained during an investigation are professionally analysed to explore whether the result can be rationalised through natural explanations or whether it is truly an unexplained/ paranormal result.

City Watch House Investigations (Conducted Quarterly)

The City Watch House has been privately investigated by the GhostSeekers Team for the last two and half years, and has provided our team with some amazing unexplained results. Now GhostSeekers and the Old Melbourne Gaol proudly present the City Watch House for public paranormal investigations on a quarterly basis.

The first sandstone cell block at the Old Melbourne Gaol was built on the site of the current City Watch House between 1841 and 1845. The City Watch House was then constructed by GBH Austin of the public works between 1907 and 1908.

The City Watch House has been frequented by many of Melbourne’s infamous criminals such as Squizzy Taylor (1920s Gangster), Ronald Ryan (last man hanged in Melbourne), Julian Knight (Hoddle Street massacre), Edward Leonski (1942 Brownout Strangler), Mark “Chopper” Reid and many of the 1980s and 1990s “Underbelly” characters to name a few, until it was finally closed in 1994.

This investigation allows members of the public to conduct their own paranormal investigation with the assistance of the latest ghost hunting equipment in the following confines of the City Watch House:, sexual offenders’ cell and exercise yard, interview cells, wet (drunks’) cells, female cells and exercise yard and the famous padded cell used for very violent and mentally disturbed prisoners. The investigation also includes a tour of one courtroom within the old Magistrate’s Court complex.

Join the Ghost Seekers team in investigating this truly unique venue, only just made available to the general public for paranormal investigations.
