Museum Candlelit Ghost Tours

Dare you spend an evening in a haunted building, by candlelight alone?

The Museum is reputedly one of the most haunted sites in the city, with many ghosts said to be lurking around the building. This tour sets out to uncover some of their stories...
 
The tour is led by a costumed guide, who shows visitors around the building by candlelight, explaining the various paranormal happenings at the sites where they have taken place, including:
The back stairs, where people have reported a ghostly servant falling to her death,
A phantom girl seen and heard in recent months,
The story of the museum's most notorious ghost, the 'Lonely ANZAC' Thomas Hunter...

Dates and times of the next Candlelit tours.

 

Unlike the main ghost walk, the Candlelit Tour depends on dark nights in order to achieve its effect, therefore there will be NO Candlelit tours June - August during the light evenings. Candlelit tours will then restart in September, when the nights have again grown dark...
 
We can also provide private group bookings for this tour - arrangements are the same as for the city ghost walk.
