Join Booze & Ghouls as we head down under to Victoria, Australia, to explore Aradale Mental Hospital — a sprawling Gothic complex where over 13,000 souls checked in and few ever left. Between the grim legacy of J Ward’s criminally insane inmates, lingering spirits of patients long forgotten, and a few cheeky ghosts with no respect for personal space, Aradale remains one of the Southern Hemisphere’s most haunted — and human — locations.
Oh, and our Boozy Aside? A cheeky nod to Aussie ingenuity with a gin-and-bush-tucker twist. Because even when you’re telling ghost stories about Victorian-era asylums, hydration is key.
