Spend a night at the Old Convict Gaol
The Albany Convict Gaol is thought to be one of the most haunted places in Western Australia and for many who have been brave enough to visit - have reported having experiences that they... could not quite explain.
​
You never know what ghostly things you may encounter at the Albany Convict Gaol, but it has been reported that unexplainable sounds both from visitors and the museum staff include, wailing to taps and knocks echoing, doors shutting with no draft, to tiny whispers and the sound of footsteps on the old wood floorboards.
​​​
Join us for a night in the dark as you explore the darker side of the Albany Convict Gaol, where walls echo the stories of inmates, pain and suffering.
Be warned - these self guided tours are not for the faint hearted.​

TRUE CRIME
Frederick Bailey Deeming
The greatest criminal of the nineteenth century, but was Deeming the most infamous serial killer - Jack the Ripper?
Deeming a globetrotting murderer, killing two of his wives and four children, assumed multiple identities and reputed occupations which lured many into his web of lies. Captured in the small goldfields’ town of Southern Cross in Western Australia, his transfer back to Melbourne, involved a night spent at the Albany Convict Gaol.
