After-dark history and ghost tours explore the goldfields-era streets of Ballarat and the sprawling former Aradale asylum at Ararat, near Melbourne. Led by guides versed in the region's paranormal lore and its documented past, the range runs from street and cemetery night walks to three- and six-hour paranormal investigations inside the old institution. Tours lean on Ballarat's turbulent mining history and its haunted reputation, and are booked online. Gift vouchers are available.
