Brisbane has plenty to offer tourists who are willing to travel halfway around the world to see one of the most beautiful coasts you can ever find, but there’s a lot to do at night besides exploring the exotic nightlife in a city that never goes to sleep. If you believe in the occult, you don’t really have a ghost of a chance of going to sleep in a town that was once voted the Most Haunted City in the World.
For just $25 you can take a walking ghost tour in Brisbane with the Haunted Brisbane Ghost Tours. The city was voted as the most haunted city in the world and there are stories to back that up. The walking tour takes you through downtown for a 1 1/2 hour tour. To add to the eerie feeling the tour is led by lantern light. This is an after hours tour, and the host will be allowed to take you into several of the buildings on the tour.
People walking on the tour are given a lantern for the after-hours walk, which makes things even more spooky. You can stop at the Bell Tower of Pancakes Manor where there are stories of people hearing footsteps and chains rattling throughout the night. Dutton Park has a staff member who swears he felt a hand on his shoulder one night before his guests arrived. Another tour guide claims he felt a cold hand on his leg while walking through Toowong Cemetery.
Ghost hunts are popular among tourists who visit Brisbane, so you really have to check in advance if there are still openings on the tour. There are plenty of sites on the Internet where you can register in advance and not have to worry about things once you get to Australia. After all, if you are going on a ghost tour, you might have enough to worry about once the tour starts.
The ghost walk offers several investigative techniques that help you get the most out of you adventure including EMF readings, electronic voice phenomena and cameras that help you record the entire experience. A ghost tour through Australia isn’t usually what most people have in mind on their vacation, but it’s well worth the trip.
