The Haunts of Brisbane Presents: Ghosts of the City

The Haunts of Brisbane: Ghosts of the City is a captivating after-dark tour that begins well within the historic grounds of Toowong Cemetery — Brisbane’s grand necropolis — and reaches into the very heart of the city’s supernatural folklore. Guided by renowned paranormal historian and The Haunts of Brisbane founder Liam Baker, this torchlit journey takes you through real historical accounts that have inspired some of Brisbane’s most persistent ghost tales. As you make your way among the graves and stories, you’ll uncover the chilling facts behind the fictions that have lingered in Brisbane’s psyche for generations. Among the stories explored:

• Brisbane’s manorial sandstone homestead, & a century-long convict haunting
• The Spectre of York’s Hollow — when a 1965 Brisbane ghostly encounter turned viral
• A sorrowful drowning, an even sadder backstory, and an urban legend to boot
• Patrick Mayne, Brisbane Arcade, & what’s really behind the Ghost of Burnett Lane
• Brisbane City Hall’s first fatality, and the ghost story aftermath that followed

Whether you’re a believer or a sceptic, this immersive tour offers a thoughtful and spine-tingling look at the places, people, and legends that continue to stir Brisbane’s haunted imagination. Follow the flicker of your torchlight. Trace the city’s ghost stories to their graves. And experience Toowong Cemetery like never before. All of our tours are not-for-profit, with all money raised going to our cemetery history and maintenance projects.
