For a good scare

COME and join the team at Twisted History inside an intact 19th century jail, as we explore the darkened halls and cells and hear the stories of those who once lived behind these walls.
The prisoners themselves referred to it as the “Seaside Sanatorium” and it would become known throughout the colony as the “Prison of the Ill”, but this building was home to a host of convicts, murderers, lunatics and young girls under the most extreme conditions.
From escapes to ghosts to paranormal investigations, we have a tour that is sure to appeal to everyone.
Our famous nightly ghost tours will explore the stories of the convicts, the building, the executions and of course those who may still be here behind the gates!
Or if you are after proof that the paranormal truly does exist, join our paranormal investigation team on our nightly two-hour investigation. Or before the sun goes down on Saturday and Sundays, join our Escapes Tour, to hear of how the men, women and children would escape from a place designed to keep them inside.
Ghost Tours and Investigation Tours run seven nights a week from 8pm, Escapes Tours run Saturday and Sundays at 11am. Bookings for all tours are essential. Phone 1300 865 800, 202 Myers Street, Geelong email twistedhistoryvictoria@gmail.com or visit twistedhistory.net.au.
