Haunted Locations Throughout the World

Monte Cristo is claimed to be Australia's most haunted house, with reports of ghostly figures, strange lights, invisible forcefields, phantom sounds and animal mutilations. These are attributed to several tragic incidents in the property's past including the murder of a caretaker in 1961 and the imprisonment of a mentally impaired man for many years in the dairy. During the Crawleys' occupation a young child is said to have been fatally dropped down the stairs, a maid to have fallen from the balcony, and a stable boy to have been burnt to death.

Monte Cristo's reputation is well known within Australia, thanks partially to several television shows including segments on the property. These include current affairs show Big Country in 1977, travel show Getaway in 1992 and the paranormal based game/reality show Scream Test in 2000.
