Step beyond the towering sandstone walls of the infamous Old Parramatta Gaol and into nearly 200 years of darkness.
Built in the 1830s, this foreboding prison has echoed with the sounds of despair, violence, isolation and death. Murderers, bushrangers, the criminally insane, hardened offenders, women and children all passed through its gates. Many never truly left.
As night falls, the Gaol takes on an atmosphere unlike anywhere else. The long, empty wings fall silent. Heavy cell doors stand open. Every footstep seems to linger. Every shadow makes you wonder if you're really alone.
During this 3-hour paranormal investigation, you'll venture deep into some of the Gaol's most notoriously active locations. Hear the chilling true stories of those once imprisoned here before taking part in guided investigation sessions using specialised paranormal equipment.
Guests and investigators alike have reported unexplained voices, heavy footsteps echoing through empty wings, phantom touches, shadow figures watching from the darkness, objects moving without explanation and an overwhelming feeling that something unseen is standing just behind them.
Will you hear the footsteps of an unseen prisoner? Feel the presence of someone long forgotten? Or leave with an experience you simply can't explain?
This is a strictly 18+ event and contains mature themes relating to crime, death and the paranormal.
This isn't a haunted house. There are no actors. No staged scares.
Just a prison with nearly two centuries of history... and whatever may still be walking its corridors.
Step inside. Keep your torch steady. Listen carefully. You never know what might be listening back.
