Visit one of Australia's original homesteads, nestled snugly in a leafy park only 15 minutes drive from Melbourne. The homestead has long had a reputation for hauntings and has been the centre of paranormal investigations. The Langhorne family are long deceased but given their colourful history and the births, deaths and heartaches linked with the building, it is no surprise that the Homestead is alive with activity.

Completed 40 years before Freud, this building saw some of the most controversial psychiatric treatments in Australia. Around 13,000 people passed away here in it's 130 years. As a result, Aradale is considered one of the most haunted locations in Australia.

At its height, Aradale consisted of 68 buildings and was home to over 2000 patients and staff, making it a self sufficient town.

And now, for the first time, Aradale's doors have opened for evening explorations. Do you have what it takes to explore one of Australia's eeriest buildings after dark?

Geelong Gaol is one of Australia's most intact 19th Century convict prisons. A 4 story behemoth, it housed a host of convicts, murderers and lunatics under extreme conditions. Four men were executed and buried within its wall. It is the site of scores of murders between prisoners.

Begun in 1847, the prison was designed along the Pentonville plan to contain convicts being brought directly from England before being shipped across the colony. Tiny cells, lack of toilets and facilities and freezing cold temperatures made Geelong Gaol a virtual dungeon till the day it closed.

Life in the prison was excruciating. Prisoners were subjected to back-breaking labour, floggings and a system designed to completely break their spirits.

Closing in the 1990's this is the one prison Chopper Reid said he never wanted to go back to.
