    The Fremantle Arts Centre, located in Fremantle, Western Australia, is housed in a striking 1860s Gothic Revival limestone complex originally built by convict labor as the Fremantle Lunatic Asylum. Over more than 160 years, the imposing building has served as a psychiatric hospital, poor house for elderly women, wartime US Navy submarine depot, and technical school before transforming into a vibrant public arts organization. Renowned as one of Western Australia's most haunted buildings, it is famous for reported spectral apparitions, cold spots, mysterious scents, and disembodied voices echoing through former asylum wards.

    Fremantle Round House

    FremantleAustralia1831–present

    The Fremantle Round House, situated atop Arthur Head in Fremantle, Western Australia, is the oldest surviving public building in the state. Opened in January 1831 just eighteen months after the establishment of the Swan River Colony, the twelve-sided stone building originally served as a colonial gaol and execution site. Throughout its long history, it housed colonial convicts, local offenders, and Aboriginal prisoners awaiting transport to Rottnest Island. Renowned for its dramatic ocean views and historic 1:00 PM cannon firing, the site is also steeped in dark history and paranormal legends surrounding early colonial executions and lingering spirits.
