23. The Monte Cristo Homestead, Australia – The Most Haunted House in the Southern Hemisphere

Known as Australia’s most haunted house, the Monte Cristo Homestead in New South Wales has a history soaked in tragedy, murder, and ghostly activity. Built in the late 1800s, the house has seen a string of disturbing events, including the death of a stable boy burned alive, a mentally ill caretaker locked in chains for decades, and a maid who allegedly fell to her death from the balcony (or was pushed). The home’s original owner, Mrs. Crawley, was so consumed by grief after her husband’s passing that she never left the house for over 20 years—and many believe her spirit still lingers. The homestead was featured in the horror film "Boar" (2017), where its looming, Victorian architecture and haunted reputation served as a chilling backdrop. Visitors and paranormal investigators frequently report flickering lights, blood-curdling screams, and the sensation of unseen hands touching them, reinforcing Monte Cristo’s place among the most terrifying film locations on Earth.
