It may be in a beautiful setting but don’t let Q Station’s looks fool you, this historic quarantine station has a gloomy past rooted with suffering, disease, and isolation. It is said that there are over fifty spirits that wander the isolated hospital. If you’re a believer in the other side or not, the fascinating stories of this place will keep you enthralled. For the very brave book on to the spirit searching sleepover tour for the ultimate Halloween fright.

Jenolan Caves

The Jenolan Caves in the Blue Mountains aren’t only known for being one of the largest cave systems in the world, but also for a number of ghostly tales. Known by the local Gundungurra people as ‘Binoomea’, which means the dark place, you can expect a spine-chilling adventure when you go exploring the dark chambers. It is believed that a caretaker of the caves from 1903 loved his job so much that he never chose to leave and still keeps a watchful eye over the place. Enjoy a ghost tour this Halloween and see if you meet him.
