Interactive Ghost Tour - Old Government House

Step beyond the velvet ropes and into the shadows of one of Australia's most historically significant—and most haunted—buildings.

As darkness falls, Old Government House is transformed. Once the home of ten early Governors of New South Wales, these grand rooms and quiet corridors have witnessed nearly two centuries of triumph, tragedy, heartbreak and death. Many believe that not everyone who once lived here has ever truly left.

Unlike a traditional history tour, this immersive experience places you at the centre of the story. Led by our experienced guides in period costume, you'll explore the house by lantern light as history comes alive through dramatic storytelling, paranormal experiments and interactive encounters.

Throughout the evening you'll hear the fascinating stories of the Governors, their families, servants and convicts whose lives became entwined within these walls. Learn about the hardships, scandals and unexplained events that have fuelled countless reports of paranormal activity over the years.

Along the way you'll have the opportunity to participate in a variety of paranormal experiments, including spirit communication sessions, sensory vigils, trigger object experiments and the renowned Estes Method. You won't simply hear ghost stories—you'll become part of the investigation.

Whether you're a sceptic, a history enthusiast or someone hoping to experience something they simply can't explain, this unique after-dark tour offers an unforgettable blend of authentic Australian history and the unexplained.
