Historical Attractions That Are Actually Kind of Creepy
18. The Lingering Shadows of Port Arthur (Australia)
Port Arthur, a former penal settlement in Tasmania, Australia, was once home to some of the British Empire's most hardened criminals. Conditions were brutal, and the site's violent history still lingers. Hundreds of prisoners lived and died in misery within its stone walls. Many visitors report seeing ghostly apparitions, hearing the cries of long-dead convicts, and experiencing sudden cold spots. Port Arthur is a place where the past refuses to fade, and every corner seems to hold echoes of suffering. The prison ruins, surrounded by misty landscapes, only add to its chilling atmosphere.
