Haunted Hens Night -
Saturday Night,
8.15pm, February 27th 2016
If you were an optimist - would you build a hospital next to cemetery?
To this day, Royal North Shore Hospital still captures headlines with real life horror stories.
It has a 125 year history....
On this Ghost Tour, you will visit a world where you can laugh, and maybe even start seeing things you have looked at forever - particularly around medicine - in a whole new way. You may hear things that will run chills down your spine – and leave you with the adrenaline rush of a good, fun, scare!
Departing from the centre water feature in the Forum, the main courtyard of St Leonards Station in St Leonards (as per the marker on the map below), this Sydney Ghost Tour focuses on the later 19th Century and early 20th Century, and the "Movers and Shakers" of all religions who built the north shore.
Most people would not realise that the North Shore has an Aboriginal history, and an Early colonial / Convict history. Places like Artarmon, Gore Hill, and Lane Cove, and most of the surrounding suburbs have a story that is fascinating, moving and sometimes tragic. Once you have seen and heard it - is unforgettable!

Skeletons in the back yard...
Like all of our walking tours, this tour is a Historic Ghost tour. We have to talk about some really extraordinary history, so that the context of the ghost stories make sense . ( This won't be the dry, stuffy history as you remember from school. This stuff is gritty, real and fascinating!) . About 70% of what we talk about is taken from peoples letters, diaries and public records. 10% of the tour will be my own opinion and "connecting the dots" from years of dedicated research. The 20% Paranormal part of the tour is a completely "make your own mind up" exercise....!
Our tours are conducted by walking on public property only. A number of the things we talk about happen on government and private property, that having people walk through risks either damaging the site, or poses unacceptable risk to life and limb - for example one of them is currently an abandoned building site where people have been injured. So we will show you as much as we can, while we follow the law, preserve the sites, and your life and limbs. We also go in all weathers - so bring warm clothing, sensible shoes and wet weather gear.
We have a lot of good fun and belly laughs on Sydney Ghost Tours. Most people just come in comfortable, casual evening clothes. If you decide that you want to really make a night out of it, walk on the wild side and dress up as your favourite spooky figure - knock yourself out. Just bring something warm, and good walking shoes - it gets cold sometimes, and graveyards are very unforgiving on high heels...!
(OUR TOURS GO OUT IN ALL WEATHERS. PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU WEAR COMFORTABLE WALKING SHOES, BRING WARM CLOTHING AND BRING WET WEATHER GEAR IF NEEDED. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT OUR TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OUR TOURS, CLICK HERE)
