Hey everyone!

Yes I have been on this tour during my road trip in Tassie.The tour guide didint know if he was having a tour that nite,so I went on a day tour just in case.
The day tour was informative & interesting but still I really wanted to do a nite ghost tour of the penitentiary & my luck smiled coz 5 people rang that arvo & booked in so there was going to be tour!But strangely enough those people didn't show...so the tour was generous to give me a solo tour.I was fine with this & excited but my feelings changed when we reached the 'lunatic cells'.
Now do keep in mind I was there in those cells during the day & felt fine,but something weird happened....I had sudden change in me....i became absolutely frightened........it just happened in a instant...I became cold sweated & damn scarred.I did ask for 5 minute break outside...but if was to be..then i'm out & bailing out of this tour.So I stepped outside,had a breather & then returned & felt ok...but that strange nervous snap I went thru earlier didn't come back & once the tour was over I was 100% fine & walked back to the motel room without a worry.
But now looking back I do highly recommend this tour,this place has atmosphere & sense of dread.Dare you to take a walk through THE PENITENTIARY CHAPEL OF HOBART!

I have been there. I really enjoyed it.

Another place to add to my list of things to do and places to snap

I had no problems during the day...but at nite,once when I got down into that hallway with the 2 cells...my nerves fell to pieces....dont ask what happened there....it was weird....but yes it was the best location out of the 3 tours i did in Tassie!

But where else can anyone find a massive location like this?Soaked in history & atmosphere with courtrooms,cells,holding yard,a chapel (where a lot of strange stuff had been reported) & gallow with a hangmans noose (enough to give any ghost-buff the shivers!).
This place was my favourite haunted location during my grand road-trip tour of Tassie!
Highly recommended!

There are places like that Dazza. We go to them as a team. Some locations we talk about and others we can't.

I really enjoyed this building and the history that went along with it. However, the tour guide was painful and I wouldn't go on it again.
