There are claims and stories suggesting that the Migration Museum in Adelaide, which is located on the site of the former Destitute Asylum on Kintore Avenue, may be haunted.

On Halloween night learn about the darker side of Adelaide’s history in this spooky night tour at the Migration Museum, we explore our heritage buildings by candlelight, and learn about life and death in the early days of the colony of South Australia.

The Destitute Asylum, which operated in the 19th century, housed many impoverished and vulnerable people, including women, children, and the elderly, and had a long history of hardship and suffering. As a result, some visitors and staff have reported eerie experiences, strange noises, and feelings of unease in certain areas of the museum.

These kinds of stories are not uncommon for historical sites, especially those with connections to difficult or tragic periods in history.

Join us for a tour if you dare …

Disease, death and destitution are guaranteed!
