    Cockatoo Island

    SydneyAustralia1839–Present

    Cockatoo Island is a UNESCO World Heritage site located in the heart of Sydney Harbour with a long and multi-layered history as a harsh convict penal establishment, an industrial reformatory school for girls, and one of Australia's largest naval shipyards. Over nearly two centuries of continuous operation, the island witnessed severe physical punishments, tragic workplace industrial accidents, and fatal epidemic outbreaks. Today, visitors and overnight campers report chilling supernatural encounters, sudden icy draughts in underground sandstone tunnels, phantom smells of pipe tobacco, and distinct apparitions linked to its convict and colonial past.

    Rottnest Island (Wadjemup)

    Rottnest IslandAustralia1838–present

    Rottnest Island, known to the traditional Whadjuk Nyoongar owners as Wadjemup, is a scenic island situated 19 kilometers off the coast of Perth, Western Australia. While famous worldwide today for its picturesque beaches and friendly quokkas, Wadjemup carries a deeply somber history as a colonial penal establishment. Between 1838 and 1931, over 3,700 Aboriginal men and boys from across Western Australia were forcibly removed from their lands and imprisoned on the island under brutal conditions. With at least 373 documented deaths in custody and the largest unmarked Aboriginal burial ground in Australia, the island is widely revered as a sacred, haunted landscape filled with restless spirits.
