Monte Cristo Homestead

A Victorian manor built in 1885 at Junee, New South Wales, which advertised itself as 'Australia's most haunted house'.

1885 CE · -34.81, 147.67 · status: claim

The account

The Crawley family lived there until 1948; Reg and Olive Ryan bought and restored it in 1963 and ran it as a museum with ghost tours. It has featured on many TV programs.

The sceptical view

The haunted reputation was promoted by the owners as a tourist attraction; the evidence is visitors' anecdotes.
