The Alkimos is a shipwreck of a former U.S. Navy ship from World War II that occurred off the coast of Western Australia in 1964.
Ararat Lunatic Asylum or “Aradale” is the largest abandoned Lunatic Asylum in Australia. Opened in 1867, Aradale was reserved for many of the incurable Lunatics in Victoria during the 1800s. An estimated 13,000 people died here in 140 years of operation.
Beechworth Lunatic Asylum in Beechworth, Victoria is reportedly haunted by several ghosts of departed patients. The asylum was open from 1867 to 1995. It has appeared in several books, television shows, and documentaries, including A.C.T. Paranormal. Ghost tours run nightly.
Monte Cristo Homestead in Junee, New South Wales was the site of seven deaths in the 1800s and is reported[by whom?] to be the most haunted house in Australia. Various ghost groups have reported sightings there.
Thirteen people were executed at the Ballarat Gaol in Ballarat. The remains of seven criminals are still in the grounds. The Ballarat Ghost Tours operate nightly.
Port Arthur in Tasmania operate nightly ghost tours. However, no mention is made of the Port Arthur massacre there and they like to keep that respected by the public.
Princess Theatre in Melbourne has reported several ghosts since the building opened in 1886. The theatre’s best known ‘inhabitant’ is Frederick Baker, stage name ‘Federici’, a talented bass-baritone singer who died in March 1888 whilst singing Mephistopheles in Faust – and who was seen by the rest of the cast taking his bows with them shortly thereafter. For years the theatre kept a seat vacant in the dress circle for Federici (only ceasing the practice on economic grounds), and his appearance in the dress circle during rehearsals for a new show is considered a good omen.
Lalor House in Richmond, Victoria is reportedly haunted by the ghosts of the family of Peter Lalor.
“Gawler house” in Gawler, South Australia is reportedly haunted by past tenants. One visitor has reported feeling a choking sensation when he entered the house. The house is almost destroyed, missing its roof.
Brisbane City Hall in Brisbane, Australia has several stories of deaths spanning the eras before and after construction of the impressive structure. During the building’s construction workmen were said to have died while placing the foundations, which were on top of a former swamp. It is also said that the area was once a significant Aboriginal site – either a meeting place or camp ground. One story relates to the death of a maintenance man or lift attendant who either fell to his death down the lift well or was crushed by the lift in his daily duties – this story likely results from an unfortunate suicide from the clock tower that occurred in 1935 (Haunts Of Brisbane). Another story claims an American soldier was stabbed to death during the war after a fight over an Australian girl turned ugly. Staff are said to have reported the sounds of an argument from the Red Cross Tea Room, and there are many reports of sounds and unusual activity throughout the hall relating to the areas surrounding these deaths. A third story claims the apparition of a woman is regularly seen traversing the main stairs in the lobby & looking out over the foyer – a story which likely results from yet another suicide from City Hall’s Clock Tower in 1937, although recent photos of the stairwell exhibit a possible apparition.(Haunts Of Brisbane)
Whepstead House in Wellington Point, Queensland is rumoured to have a number of ghosts – Gilbert Burnett’s wife Martha who spreads the scent of lavender perfume; the daughter of Gilbert & Martha, who apparently disappeared without trace; Gilbert & Martha’s son who had a withered leg & haunts the stairwell; & the ghost of an elderly servant who is seen around the house in a bowler’s hat & suit. Whilst not one of these stories has any historic basis, the house itself acted as a private hospital for a number of decades, during which time well over a dozen people passed away – it’s likely that its haunted atmosphere & unusual events result from this period of use. (Haunts Of Brisbane)
Victoria Park Railway Tunnel in Brisbane, Australia played host to one of Brisbane’s most famous ghosts in 1965, after a group of local children overheard rumours suggesting a ghost had been observed within the tunnel. The following night, the intrepid ghost hunters crept down in the hope of spotting the spook. One boy, lagging behind the rest of the group as they passed through the tunnel, was apparently accosted by a misty green, armless, legless, headless apparition that seemed to materialise from the wall of the tunnel. Seemingly “mesmerised” by the spectre, the boy was dragged by his friends to the nearby Royal Brisbane Hospital – his companions feared he had been possessed by the ghost. The ensuing tale, as related by the children to hospital staff, made sensational newspaper headlines the next day and within a short time, thousands of local residents were lining both sides of the tunnel in the hopes of catching a glimpse of the ghost. For the next week, the Victoria Park ghost became the major talking point of Brisbane, & numerous suggestions to its identity were put forward, although the spectre may very well have resulted from one of the numerous suicides that took place in Victoria Park in previous years. (Haunts of Brisbane)
St. John’s Orphanage in Goulburn, New South Wales is suspected to have some ghosts in the building.
Chase Vault is a burial vault in the cemetery of the Christ Church Parish Church in Oistins, Christ Church, Barbados best known for a widespread but unverified legend of “mysterious moving coffins”. According to the story, each time the heavily sealed vault was opened in the early 19th century for burial of a family member, all of the lead coffins had changed position. The facts of the story are unverified, and skeptics call the tale “historically dubious.” The tale appears to have originated from anecdotes told by Thomas H. Orderson, Rector of Christ Church during the 1800s, and subsequently repeated in James Edward Alexander’s 1833 Transatlantic Sketches.
The Joelma Building in São Paulo is allegedly haunted by victims of the fire that started on February 1, 1974, after an air conditioning unit on the twelfth floor overheated.

The redevelopment had been a troubled affair with tradesmen employed on the work leaving complaining of ghosts. One night, a friend of the O’Brien’s, artist Tom McAssey, and two workmen were confronted by a spectral figure and a black cat with glowing red eyes.

When the samurai returned one night to take Hoichi to the cemetery, he could only see Hoichi’s ears, so he took them instead and Hoichi was left earless. Hoichi is commonly known as “Mimi-Nashi Hoichi”, “Hōichi the Earless”, due to this event.

Some of them were even buried alive in the orchestra. Various ghostly activities were reported on the site including mysterious sounds, voices and poltergeist activity.
