Step inside Australia's home of the criminally insane and experience an unforgettable night at the infamous J Ward Lunatic Asylum on a 2-hour paranormal investigation, where you'll explore the dark history of this notorious institution while learning about the criminals, patients, and spirits said to still linger within its walls. Visit the cells of infamous inmates, including Mark "Chopper" Read, Gary Webb, and William Wallace, and investigate some of J Ward's most active paranormal hotspots, including the West Wing, former psychiatric ward, the Governor's bathroom, the hangman's gallows, original kitchen, shower block, exercise yards, grave sites, and surrounding grounds.
Throughout the investigation, your guide will share the fascinating history of the buildings, recount chilling ghost stories, and introduce you to the paranormal activity that has been reported over the years. Using a range of ghost hunting equipment, you'll have the opportunity to conduct your own investigation and see if you can make contact with the spirits said to still inhabit J Ward.
Whether you're an experienced investigator or simply curious about the paranormal, this immersive experience offers a unique opportunity to explore one of Australia's most haunted locations after dark.
Please bring a torch, warm clothing (the buildings can be cold at night) and your own ghost hunting equipment (optional). We also provide a selection of paranormal investigation equipment for guests to use.
