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.

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.

We were given the opportunity of staying overnight at the Wallachia Hotel in Western Sydney. The hotelwas officially opened on December 3rd 1937. During the Second World War the hotel was used as the Army headquarters for radiopyhysics. I had never been to the Wallacia Hotel before, but, my ghost hunting gal pal Anne, had been there about 5 years ago with a group of Paranormal Investigators that she was working with at the time. We arrived and we were greeted by Craig, the night manager, who welcomed us with open arms. Craig recognised Anne from the last time she had visited. Anne asked whether any spooky things had been happening over the last few years. Craig said that he always thought that there was something a little bit weird going on late at night. Over the last few months everything had changed as the Hotel had been very much affected by the COVID lock downs This was a huge hotel with quite an interesting history even though in the whole scheme of things the h...
Perched on the rocky cliffs of North Head, overlooking Sydney Harbour, lies one of Australia's most historic and eerie sites: the Quarantine Station at Manly. This sprawling complex, now part of the Sydney Harbour National Park, has a rich history that dates back to the early 19th century. It served as a quarantine station for over 150 years, sheltering those who arrived in Sydney with contagious diseases. The Quarantine Station, or "Q Station" as it's now known, is not only a monument to medical history but also a hotspot for ghostly encounters. The Origins of the Quarantine Station The Quarantine Station was established in 1832, during a time when ships arriving in Sydney brought not only new settlers and goods but also deadly diseases. Smallpox, typhus, cholera, and the plague were among the illnesses that posed significant threats to the burgeoning colony. To protect the population, the New South Wales government designated North Head as the site for a quara...
