    PictonAustralia1863–Present

    Built in the 1860s on Argyle Street in Picton, New South Wales, the Imperial Hotel is one of the most famous haunted pubs in Australia's most haunted town. Originally opened as the Terminus Hotel before serving as a hospice for tuberculosis patients in the 1870s, the historic venue is famous for unexplained poltergeist activity, phantom footsteps pacing the corridors, and a disembodied presence that turns on the pub's jukebox even when completely unplugged from power.

    Picton Haunted Town

    PictonAustralia1821–Present

    Picton, located in the Macarthur region southwest of Sydney, is widely recognized as Australia's most haunted town. Established in 1821, the historic settlement is surrounded by reports of supernatural phenomena across its heritage buildings, pub vaults, old maternity hospital, and disused railway structures. Its most infamous paranormal landmark is the 1867 Redbank Range Railway Tunnel (Mushroom Tunnel), where tragic historical deaths have spawned enduring legends of phantom figures, cold winds, and unexplained voice recordings.
