Diary of a Ghost Chaser - Beechworth Lunatic Asylum
Beechworth Lunatic Asylum, VICTORIA
The abandoned grounds of Beechworth Lunatic Asylum - also known as Mayday Hills - is a hot spot for ghost hunters, with regular and consistent accounts of unexplained figures walking the halls.
Visitors recount an 80-year-old man tugging at their clothes, children laughing in the distance and the murmurs of a young girl who desperately tries to speak but can't be understood.
The asylum closed in 1995 after 128 years of operation.
However, hundreds of patients were buried on-site in unmarked graves and it's believed their spirits remain.
Opened in 1867, the Beechworth Lunatic Asylum was one of the largest psychiatric hospitals in the state.
Legend has it that doctors would restrain patients with shackles, conduct electro-shock treatments en masse, and pull teeth when patients self-harmed.
The Beechworth Lunatic Asylum was one of the largest psychiatric hospitals in the state, home to 1200 patients at its peak.
Very few are said to have left alive.
The ghost of a little girl kneeling on the floor of an asylum has been captured on camera. This will make your hairs stand on end.
Kneeling on the floor of an old mental asylum, the shadowy figure of a little girl has been captured on camera.
The chilling image has emerged from one of Australia’s most notoriously haunted places – the Beechworth Lunatic Asylum in North-East Victoria.

The girl was photographed in the most infamous wing of the asylum, sitting in the darkness.
This wing is where patients were given electric shock treatments and kept in strait jackets between 1867 and 1995.
It’s not the first sighting in the institution – the ghost of a male doctor and a female matron have been spotted there too.
Allen Tiller
The man who spotted the kneeling girl is Allen Tiller, who also had an experience in a wing called the “bull pen” at the asylum, which housed aggressive young people aged between 18 and 25.
He heard a door slamming, “and I audibly hear footsteps go up the hallway,” he said.
He also picked up electronic voice phenomena of a couple of people saying “Get out”.
Hopefully when COVID is just a memory this Ghost Chaser will be able to visit this site.

If you’re fascinated by eerie places, spine-chilling ghost stories, and a slice of Australian history, then you’re in for a treat. Today, we’re diving into the intriguing past of one of New South Wales’ most infamous locations – the Morisset Insane Asylum, nestled in the quiet town of Morisset near Newcastle. Ready to uncover its secrets? Let’s go! The Beginning: When and Why Was Morisset Insane Asylum Created? Back in the early 1900s, mental health care was a very different beast from what it is today. In 1908, the Morisset Insane Asylum was established to serve as a psychiatric hospital primarily for patients from the Hunter Region and northern NSW. The government needed a facility to care for those struggling with mental illnesses, and Morisset was chosen for its remote and tranquil setting—ideal, they thought, for healing. The asylum was built with a mix of imposing brick buildings and sprawling grounds. It was designed not just as a hospital but as a self-sufficient commun...
Lemon Tree Passage is a suburb of the Port Stephens local government area in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia, located at the end of the Tilligerry Peninsula and surrounded by the waters of beautiful Port Stephens . Ever since I can remember there have been a few urban legends about a stretch of highway named Lemon Tree Passage Road. The story begins when a motor bike rider and his pillion passenger died after colliding with a four wheel drive killing both. This seems to be the source of the ghostly lights and apparition. These sort of events don't stay quiet in small townships. Stories spread fast often not ending up like they started. Every so often this urban legend makes a comeback with a number to people tempting fate and poking the ghost rider.

Headless Ghost. A N.S.W. Mystery. A correspondent writes to a Sydney paper : — Many years ago a retired sea captain built a large house in a lonely spot at the junction of Limeburners' Creek and Karuah River (Port Stephens), and therein reared a large family, After the old dad' went west,' most of the family being married, the house was taken by a fisherman with a large family. At night they were disturbed by footsteps, doors opening and shutting, crockery rattling and on moonlight nights the figure of a woman without a bead would be observed. As three fierce dogs were kept, no stranger could approach unmolested. On one occasion one of the sons fired point- blank at the figure, without effect. The fisherman's family were away, and the house remained closed. One night some young fellows from Karuah were fishing close by. A storm coming on they took refuge in the empty house. They propped a log against the door, and lo, ...
