Australia's Dark History at Port Arthur

Port Arthur, a former settlement where prisoners were sent to exile in Australia, is infamous for its dark and tragic past. More than a thousand lives were lost during that time, leaving behind a haunting legacy that some believe still lingers today. Ghost stories have been associated with Port Arthur since the 1870s, and many have reported experiencing paranormal activity over the years. Despite its haunting reputation, the place remained a tourist spot.

Despite being a popular spot for ghost tours, the site was forced to close for six weeks after a horrific mass shooting claimed 35 innocent lives.
