THE HAUNTED MONTE CRISTO HOMESTEAD

Monte Cristo Homestead  New South Wales, Australia  It is a late Victorian mansion, with intricate cast iron latticework built by wealthy landowner Christopher William Crawley in 1876.  Reputedly  Australia's most haunted house. One of  the ghosts is a young child who was dropped down the stairs. Another, is a maid who fell from the balcony.  A stable boy who burned to death is also seen.  The most active is the ghost of the son of a caretaker who was found curled up next to the dead body of his mother and who had been chained up for 40 years.  The house currently operates as a Bed and Breakfast.  It revels in its gruesome past by offering ghost tours.
