Ghost Tour Old Government House

When night falls and the last visitors depart, Old Government House, Parramatta takes on a very different presence. Australia’s oldest public building stands silent, steeped in memory, shadow, and stories that refuse to rest.

Your evening begins with a welcome from a former "ghostly" employee of Old Government House before you are led through the residence by lantern light.

This guided tour delves into the lives of those who once occupied the house - not only governors and dignitaries, but also the servants and staff whose lives unfolded quietly behind closed doors. Their stories linger in the halls, staircases, and corridors you will explore.

Along the way, you will hear of unexplained footsteps, sudden drops in temperature, shadowy figures, and disturbing visions reported by staff and visitors over many decades. You will move through all levels of the house, including areas not generally accessible to the public, experiencing the building in its most authentic and unnerving state.

This is history told in whispers, and sometimes, not told at all.
