The spookiest ghost tours in Melbourne

Seek out the city’s supernatural citizens with a guided tour

Ashleigh Hastings

Look beyond the lush laneways , specialty coffee and hidden bars and you might just see a more sinister side of our city, haunted by days past. Melbourne is brimming with terrifying tales from the distant and not-so-distant past, from the assassination of notorious gangster Squizzy Taylor to the famous opera singer haunting one of our biggest theatres.

Once you start looking, it seems we’re sharing our city with a gaggle of ghosts, so you might as well head on one of these Melbourne ghost tours to get better acquainted with our spooky friends. After all, it’s only polite to get to know your neighbours.

Is it that time of the year? Here are the best things to do for Halloween in Melbourne.

An email you’ll actually love

Pentridge Prison

Pentridge Prison

These days the site is home to apartments, a café and even a cinema, but Pentridge Prison has been part of the Coburg landscape since 1851. The prison was once home to some of Victoria’s most notorious criminals, from Ned Kelly himself to Mark ‘Chopper’ Read. Pentridge was also the site of the last execution in Australia, which was the subject of protests at the time.

With all that dark history, it’s no wonder the prison is haunted. Book the Pentridge Prison D Division Ghost Tour hosted by Lantern Ghost Tours to learn more about the prison’s hair-raising history, with no less than 44 bodies buried on site.

Werribee Park Paranormal Investigation

Werribee Park Paranormal Investigation

Put on your thinking cap with the Werribee Park Paranormal Investigation , a mind-bending three-hour experience exploring the original Chirnside homestead.

Drinking History Tours

You’ll head to Melbourne’s first graveyard and hear the terrifying tale of the man who may or may not be Jack The Ripper Himself. In true Drinking History Fashion, education is mixed with libation as you visit three hidden Melbourne bars, specially chosen by your guide.

Old Melbourne Ghost Tour

Old Melbourne Ghost Tour

  • 31 Oct 2022

We all know the trope of old Melbourne, a marvellous growing city with gardens galore. Yet, a closer examination reveals a second, much spookier side to the Melbourne of yesteryear. It’s this side of Melbourne’s history that the Old Melbourne Ghost Tour is all about.

Meet at Young & Jackson Hotel on Flinders Street, one of Melbourne’s most haunted locations, then you might meet the ghost of a murdered woman from the 19th century. You’ll then meander through the city, letting the spices of Chinatown transport you back to a time when the area was filled with the smoke of opium dens. If you’re lucky, you might make the acquaintance of Federici, the ghost of the Princess Theatre. Book through Lantern Ghost tours.

Old Melbourne Gaol Ghost Tour

Old Melbourne Gaol Ghost Tour

Even older than Pentridge Prison, Old Melbourne Gaol has long been one of the city’s most feared sites. The prisoners may be long gone, but those in the know say their spirits have never left. Ned Kelly was hanged here back in 1880, so you can only imagine the supernatural energy that event must have left behind.

Old Melbourne Gaol is holding chilling night tours where you’ll see the gaol like you’ve never seen it before. 

Ghosts of the Old City Williamstown

Ghosts of the Old City Williamstown

  • 30 Dec 2023

Did you know that Williamstown was actually Victoria’s original capital? A settlement that old is just bursting with eerie stories and scary spirits, especially when you’re on a lamplight tour.

This tour of Victoria’s most history-steeped seaport will take you through abandoned morgues and forgotten burial grounds, as well as streets once frequented by convicts and drunken sailors. These days though, these alleys are home to far more apparitions. Book via Lantern Ghost Tours .

Altona Homestead

Altona Homestead

The Altona Homestead was once home to the Langhorne family and the spirit of their colourful history is said to remain to this day. This building has seen no shortage of births and deaths, so it’s no surprise the homestead has ended up at the centre of countless paranormal investigations over the years.

This tour run by Lantern Ghost Tours explores the homestead itself and the grounds, and we advise you to steel your nerves before booking a spot.

7 Spookiest Ghost Tours in Melbourne in 2024

Photo of author

Looking for the spookiest ghost tours in Melbourne? A Melbourne local who knows this city well (and who scares easily!), I’ve got you covered with my top picks for tours.

With a rich history spanning centuries, Melbourne is no stranger to the supernatural. The city has had its fair share of eerie tales and hauntings stretching back centuries.

One of the best ways to learn about this spooky history is by taking a ghost tour in Melbourne. These tours take visitors to the most haunted places in Melbourne and tell the tales behind the tragedy there.

Buildings and laneways that look fairly innocuous by day gain a whole new level of spookiness once the sun goes down and you begin to learn about the murderers, heartbreakers and criminals who once strolled these streets.

And even if you don’t see a ghost, you’ll definitely learn a whole lot about Melbourne’s history.

I’ll admit that I’m not the bravest person, but I occasionally enjoy a good scare, and these ghost tours tick that box perfectly. I’ve been on some of these tours and definitely got goosebumps at times!

So, if you’re up for a bit of adventure and don’t mind a few creepy moments, let’s dig into Melbourne’s spookiest ghost tours.

What to expect on a ghost tour

If you’ve never done a ghost tour before, you can expect a blend of history, horror and often humour. The tour guides are usually excellent storytellers and they really know how to set the mood.

It’s all done with a healthy dose of dramatic flair – think shadows dancing on walls, sudden cold spots and maybe even a ghostly apparition if you’re lucky (or unlucky, depending on how you see it).

Some tours up the ante by offering you the chance to play ghost hunter with some pretty spooky gadgets. One of the Melbourne ghost tours I went on included dowsing rods – a method of divining spiritual energy that dates back centuries. It was very spooky watching the rods move on their own!

It’s one of the more quirky things to do in Melbourne , but it can make for a fun night out in Melbourne .

Best ghost tours in Melbourne

Here are my picks for the best Melbourne ghost tours, guaranteed to give you goosebumps – and a dose of history.

1. Hidden Bars & Creepy Tales Tour of Melbourne CBD

A man leads a ghost tour in Melbourne for a group of people down a dark and shadowy laneway with cobblestones

My top Melbourne ghost tour pick is this Hidden Bars & Creepy Tales Tour of Melbourne . This tour explores the CBD’s famous spots, interwoven with tales of historical intrigue and spectral sightings.

The itinerary includes a stroll past Melbourne’s iconic laneways, Queen Victoria Market, Old Melbourne Gaol (now a top Melbourne museum ) and Chinatown. You’ll also visit lesser-known haunted places such as Pink Alley, the haunting grounds of a child whose murder remains a cold case.

During the tour, you’ll visit three of Melbourne’s most renowned and historical bars. A glass of wine or beer may help calm those nerves!

While there’s no guarantee you’ll encounter a ghost, you will get an engaging mix of ghostly narratives and historical insights into Melbourne.

The tour is run by Drinking History Tours , who have quite a reputation for delivering a potent blend of history and high spirits during their Melbourne walking tours . They’ll leave you with a map of Melbourne’s best bars so you can continue bar-hopping (and ghost-hunting).

Tour groups are small, so you’ll get plenty of opportunities to ask your guide about ghosts in Melbourne.

Note that the tour cost doesn’t include drinks, so you’ll need to bring cash or a card to cover these.

Essential tour information:

  • Tour duration: 3 hours
  • Group size: 12 people
  • Minimum age: 18 years
  • What’s included: Map of Melbourne bars, photos from tour, professional guide
  • Read reviews

>> BOOK THE HIDDEN BARS & CREEPY TALES TOUR OF MELBOURNE CBD <<

2. Old Melbourne Ghost Tour

One of the most popular places to visit on ghost tours in Melbourne is Chinatown - the entrance to Chinatown in Melbourne at night time

The Old Melbourne Ghost Tour is my second choice if you’re looking for ghost tours in Melbourne. I recently did this tour, so I speak from personal experience when I say that you may squeal out loud at times!

Run by the acclaimed Lantern Ghost Tours , this tour is a phenomenal way to get up close and personal with Melbourne’s often macabre history.

Starting at the Young and Jackson Hotel and winding your way to end in Chinatown, this ghostly expedition unravels some intriguing mysteries. Did Jack the Ripper ever prowl these streets? Who murdered that young girl and why?

Our guide was not just a skilled storyteller but also a psychic who shared her experiences of ghostly encounters.

She even brought her dowsing rods along, and it was quite freaky watching the rods move on their own when we were in particularly haunted places.

Others on our tour said they felt chills and hands on them in particular spots.

The tour is billed to last 1.5 hours, but our tour stretched a bit longer, as our group really got invested in the stories.

A word of advice from our guide: come with an open mind. This tour appeals to both sceptics and believers alike, and we certainly had both in our group.

The Old Melbourne Ghost Tour is included in the Melbourne and Beyond Pass , meaning you can save money by bundling it with other attractions. Read my full review of the Melbourne Pass to find out how it works. 

  • Tour duration: 1.5 hours
  • Group size: 20 people (but our group was a little larger than that)
  • Minimum age: 8 years old – if your little ones are brave
  • What’s included: Walking tour, local guide

>> BOOK THE OLD MELBOURNE GHOST TOUR <<

3. Pentridge Prison Night Tour

This image shows an indoor corridor in the notorious H Division in Pentridge Prison in Melbourne, Australia, featuring architectural metalwork. The floor appears to be polished, reflecting some of the overhead lighting. The corridor is lined with a series of doors on both sides. The ceiling has exposed metal beams, and there is a walkway with a railing visible on an upper level. Decorative metal spirals adorn the staircase, visible on the right, leading to the upper floor.

Once a formidable prison and now a site run by the National Trust of Victoria, you can take a peek at Pentridge Prison’s grisly past on the Pentridge Prison Night Tour .

This after-dark tour in Melbourne offers a glimpse into the dark and troubled past of one of Australia’s most notorious prisons. I recently headed to Coburg to take this tour on a Friday evening.

During the tour, you’ll get an insight into life in the notorious H Division – more commonly called Hell Division – which was created in 1958 to deal with the baddest of prisoners. Infamous inmates like armed robber Mark “Chopper” Read, Ronald Ryan (the last person to be executed in Australia) and Shantaram author Gregory David Roberts, who escaped from this prison and fled to India, were all housed here during the almost 40 years it was open.

But this tour isn’t some sort of glorified criminal fan club. The aim is to paint a realistic picture of Pentridge’s brutal history from 1851 to its closure in 1997.

Our guide Michelle told fascinating stories – including her own experience of being at the prison when a prisoner escaped!

The first half-hour of the tour is spent outside learning about the history of the prison before heading inside H Division to explore the fascinating multimedia exhibits that share stories from former prisoners and prison guards.

While the tour isn’t specifically focused on ghostly tales, there are 44 bodies buried at Pentridge – so it’s no surprise that the prison is considered to be haunted. Get ready to be “incarcerated” at Pentridge Prison, home to Australia’s hardest and longest-serving prisoners, some of whom may still roam the corridors…

  • Tour duration: 90 minutes
  • Group size: 20 people
  • Minimum age: 16 years
  • What’s included: Guided tour, entry to Pentridge Prison
  • There are also daytime tours of both B and H Divisions – book online here

>> BOOK THE PENTRIDGE PRISON NIGHT TOUR <<

4. Spirits and Ales Haunted Pub Walking Tour  

A group of people look at the guide for a ghost tour in Melbourne. They are in a graffitied laneway.

Another tour run by paranormal professionals Lantern Ghost Tours, this spooky Spirits and Ales Haunted Pub Walking Tour combines history, ghosts and pubs for an informative and spooky night out. This is a new offering from the company, so I haven’t tested out the creepiness level of this tour yet.

As you traipse through Melbourne’s shadowy lanes and dimly lit pubs, your guide will bring the city’s past to life.

One highlight of the tour is a visit to a former police station that’s now a haunted pub. Grab a pint and soak in the eerie atmosphere – the venue’s infamous for a chilling murder that remains unsolved.

Later, step into a dark alley where the ghost of a tragic love affair is said to roam.

The tour also includes tales about the Rialto Intercontinental and the Olderfleet Building, as well as the mysteries of one of Melbourne’s most scandalous member clubs.

The journey concludes at the iconic Young and Jackson Hotel, where a young lady is said to haunt patrons, showing off her slashed throat.

Important to know about this tour is that drinks aren’t included in the price, so make sure to bring enough for a pint or two.

  • What’s included: Local guide

>> BOOK THE SPIRITS AND ALES HAUNTED PUB WALKING TOUR <<

5. Old Melbourne Gaol: Ghosts? What Ghosts!  

Inside Old Melbourne Gaol, a group of people carry lanterns along a metal gangway.

The Old Melbourne Gaol is said to be one of Melbourne’s most haunted places, so it’s no surprise that it offers its own ghost tours.

On this 90-minute Old Melbourne Gaol Ghost Tour , you’ll explore the gaol in the darkness of night and hear chilling tales of prisoners who met their end at the gallows.

Here, petty criminals lived alongside vicious murderers between 1845 and 1929. As the setting for 133 hangings, including that of infamous bushranger Ned Kelly, the gaol’s walls echo with tales of despair and death.

As you wander through the prison’s cold, cramped cells, tales of ghostly sightings and unexplainable occurrences will send shivers down your spine – you’ll definitely be looking over your shoulder!

Keep in mind that the gaol does get chilly at night, so dress warmly. This tour also isn’t recommended for kids under 12, so if you have young ones who are interested in the gaol, it might be better to visit during the day .

  • Tour duration: 1 hour
  • Group size: 30 people max
  • Minimum age: 12 years old
  • What’s included: Guided tour, admission to Old Melbourne Gaol

>> BOOK THE OLD MELBOURNE GAOL GHOST TOUR <<

6. Ghosts of Williamstown Guided Ghost Walking Tour  

The operational time ball tower - a navigational aid - in Williamstown, Melbourne. The tall grey brick building has a light on top. It's one of the places visited on a ghost tour of Williamstown.

About 25 minutes southwest of the Melbourne CBD is the bayside suburb of Williamstown. This historic seaport town, once the original capital of Victoria, has a vibrant past teeming with colourful ladies, convicts and drunken sailors, so it has its fair share of stories to tell – including some ghostly ones.

This Ghosts of Williamstown Guided Walking Tour kicks off at the Hobsons Bay Visitor Information Centre and covers about 2 kilometres of walking over 2 hours.

One of the tour’s highlights is a visit to Victoria’s oldest morgue. Here you might meet the ghosts of children and young men believed to still linger in this abandoned place.

Then, step into an opium den straight out of Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries , where you’ll get a taste of 19th-century decadence and decay.

In an interesting twist, the tour also includes a visit to one of the last remaining operational time ball tower, a navigational aid. Here you’ll encounter the spirits believed to protect this important historical monument.

To make your ghost-hunting experience more authentic, you can even use dowsing rods to see if you can detect any paranormal beings on the tour.

To join this tour , you’ll need to make your own way to Williamstown, as the company doesn’t offer hotel pick-ups.

  • Tour duration: 2 hours
  • Minimum age: 8 years old
  • What’s included: Ghost tour with guide, access to buildings not open to the public

>> BOOK THE GHOSTS OF WILLIAMSTOWN GUIDED GHOST TOUR <<

7. Altona Homestead Ghost Tour  

The front of Altona Homestead, one of the most haunted places in Melbourne.

Located to the west of the CBD, the Altona Homestead has a rich past dating back to the 1840s.

During the day, it’s home to the Altona Laverton Historical Society, but at night it’s the paranormal that attracts visitors.

Many visitors and paranormal investigators, drawn by the countless stories of supernatural sightings, have spent nights here.

On this Altona Homestead Ghost Tour , you can step inside each room of this historical home, and you might just meet a ghost or two. While a ghost encounter can’t be guaranteed, given the homestead’s history the paranormal activity level here is high.

The tour doesn’t include transport to Altona, so you will have to make your own way there. But if you’re up for an eerie evening, the trip will be worth it.

  • What’s included: Ghost tour with guide

>> BOOK THE ALTONA HOMESTEAD GHOST TOUR <<

Best time to take a ghost tour in Melbourne

Melbourne’s rich history and abundant ghostly tales make any time of the year a great time for a ghost tour.

The darker Melbourne winter months of June, July and August add an extra layer of chill to your ghostly encounters, while the summer months offer milder weather for those who’d rather not bundle up for their paranormal pursuits.

While Australia may not officially celebrate Halloween, the spirit of the spooky season is alive and well, and some might argue that it’s the ideal time to take one of these ghost tours in Melbourne. Some tour companies host special events and activities to coincide with Halloween.

Haunted hotels in Melbourne

Want to spook yourself even more and stay the night in a haunted hotel? Here are some of Melbourne’s most haunted hotels…

  • The Hotel Windsor: Known as Australia’s most haunted hotel, The Hotel Windsor has been a hotbed for ghostly encounters, largely attributed to its long-standing history since 1883. Today it’s one of Melbourne’s best 5-star hotels .
  • Hotel Sophia: This hotel, located in the heart of Melbourne, is renowned for its chilling tales of spectral guests who have never checked out.
  • Adina Apartment Hotel Pentridge: Located in Coburg, this hotel is situated on the former site of Pentridge Prison. The hotel beautifully protects the site’s heritage… and maybe you’ll see a ghost?

Final thoughts: Ghost tours in Melbourne

Whether you’re a supernatural enthusiast, a history buff or a complete sceptic, a ghost tour in Melbourne can be a fun way to spend an evening.

They’re more than just a spooky thrill ride: they offer a unique blend of history and storytelling – and maybe even an encounter with the supernatural.

But even if you don’t see a ghost, you’ll leave the tour with a whole lot of knowledge about Melbourne’s sordid and often tragic history.

And you’ll have a bit more appreciation for the buildings and alleyways you’re exploring during the day. I know I now have a completely different view of the city after going on these Melbourne ghost tours.

FAQs about Melbourne ghost tours
