Ghost tours in the Maitland Region, New South Wales, offer a thrilling and mysterious experience for visitors interested in the paranormal and local history. Two prominent ghost tours in the area are the Ghost Hunting 101 at Maitland Gaol and the Hunter Valley Ghost Tours.
Ghost Hunting 101 at Maitland Gaol is designed for those who have experienced a night tour at Maitland Gaol and want to delve deeper into ghost hunting. The night starts with a briefing, followed by learning the basics of using K2 meters, voice recorders, and other ghost hunting equipment. Participants will experience a vigil, an era cue, use a spirit box, and have time to discuss and share experiences related to ghosts, poltergeists, and residual and intelligent hauntings. The tour is only available for people aged 15 years and older with parental supervision.
Hunter Valley Ghost Tours take visitors to Morpeth, a town in the Maitland Region considered by many to be the most haunted town in New South Wales, perhaps even in Australia. The Morpeth Ghost and Heritage Tour explores tales of ghosts, hauntings, dark history, murder, suicide, and strange folklore in the area. Led by Murray Byfield, the owner and operator of Hunter Valley Ghost Tours and an author of books on ghosts and hauntings, the tour content can sometimes be disturbing for younger children, so it is not recommended for those under 18 years old. There is no guarantee that participants will see a ghost during the tour, and the tour operators do not stage ghosts and hauntings for a "fake" experience.
These tours provide an enthralling opportunity for visitors to explore the haunted history of the Maitland Region and immerse themselves in the mysterious world of ghosts and hauntings.
