Best Australian Ghost Stories (Spine-chilling tales of hauntings, apparitions and the unexplained)

Australia’s master storyteller uncovers tales of hauntings and uncanny events from the outback to the suburbs—and maybe even from your own neighborhood.

Have you ever seen, heard, or felt something that couldn’t be rationally explained?

Australia is haunted by the restless spirits of convicts, bushrangers, drovers, nurses, and miners. Ghosts have been spotted in pubs, theaters, lighthouses, asylums, and by lonely waterholes.

In this collection, Graham Seal explores eerie locations that send a shiver down your spine, from ghost towns and blasted mines to the mysterious Spirit Stones of Mayanup, Quinn’s Light, the Guyra Stone Thrower, the Humpty Doo haunting, and the Min Min lights. He reveals the stories behind Australia’s most haunted places—its own “Bermuda Triangle,” the phantom ships of the coast, the convict ghosts of the Hawkesbury River, and the lingering spirits born of gruesome unsolved crimes.

Even the most skeptical among us occasionally sense something uncanny. Real or not, our ghosts live on in the stories we tell—and we’ve been spooking ourselves with them for generations.
