Ghost hunt of Old Government House - 14/3/26

Ghost Hunt at 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.

Ghost Hunt | 8:45pm – 10:45pm

As the night deepens, guests are invited to take part in an immersive paranormal investigation within Old Government House and its surrounding spaces.

You will be introduced to the methods and tools used in modern paranormal research before participating in a hands-on ghost hunt, working in small groups to observe, document, and attempt to engage with any unexplained activity that may still linger within the house.

Participants are encouraged to trust their instincts, remain observant, and stay alert. Unexplained sounds, sudden changes in atmosphere, and unexpected responses are not uncommon — and once the lights are out, the house often seems to acknowledge your presence.

This is a genuine investigation, not a performance. Nothing is staged, nothing is scripted, and not every presence announces itself willingly.

Those wishing to explore the history of Old Government House are invited to begin their evening with the Ghost Tour. With the Ghost Hunt following later the same night, guests are welcome to remain and experience both. More information in the ghost tour can be found HERE.
