The Beechworth Lunatic Asylum, Australia
Tread in the cold, desolate building of the Beechworth Lunatic Asylum at night to feel the chill in your spine. The asylum was previously known as Mayday Hills Lunatic Asylum. Hear the stories told by the guides on your tour. Discover how the lunatics lived in the asylum and how the institution worked during the 1860s. After about 128 years of operation, the asylum closed down due to the death of about 9,000 inhabitants. Spotting a ghost during the tour is a matter of luck. However, the aura of the asylum and the stories narrated by the guides yield a spooky effect. These days, the day tours are also organized by beechworthghosttours.com.
