  • The team tackles its biggest paranormal case yet when it investigates Cockatoo Island in Sydney Harbour. Described as the "Alcatraz of Australia", it was originally used as a convict penitentiary in the 1800s. The most haunted site on the premises is Biloela House, a former girls reformatory that is now allegedly home to the angry spirit of the "red lady", believed to be Mary Ann Lucas who, in life, was often seen arguing with her husband, the school's superintendent. The team also gets up close and personal with the ghost of George, a guard who was killed by prisoners while asleep on post. (en)
  • The Haunted: Australia team investigate the Woodford Academy for Boys in the Blue Mountains, which is said to be haunted by the White Lady, believed to be a convict's wife who was hanged or possibly murdered by her husband in the back garden. It is also haunted by a mentally ill girl named Jessie, who was locked up in the attic by her father, the academy's founder. They are only two of the twelve ghosts that still reside here and are a part of what the workers call the "Dismal Dozen". (en)
  • The team are back in South Australia, this time in the Barossa region to investigate the North Kapunda Hotel, once used in the copper rush days as a brothel for all the Cornish miners that came to town. It also said to have the most haunted pub in the country. One of the members, Ray feels sick from the negative energy of the malevolent spirit simply called, "the man in black", who is believed to have killed a lady of the night in one of the rooms. (en)
  • The team investigates Gledswood Homestead, where the predominant Chisholm family once lived and died, including the tragic death of little Isabel Emmeline, who was quarantined here for scarlet fever and now roams the halls with her father John Chisholm, the builder of the main house. It's also said to be the home of a ghostly groundskeeper named John Biggs, who was instantly killed by a falling tree on the property in 1858. (en)
  • The team travels to rural town of Ararat to investigate the Aradale Mental Hospital where it's reported over 10,000 patients died. With 70 buildings to explore, they tour its epicenter of paranormal activity; the highly-haunted Men's Wing, only accessed by a covered bridge called, "The Suicide Walk", was where the worst patients were kept and the spirit of Nurse Kerry resides, watching over the others. (en)
  • The team heads to the southern part of the country to investigate the notoriously haunted Adelaide Arcade, where a local woman named Florence Horton was shot and killed by her jealous husband. They get up close and personal with Francis "The Beetle" Cluney, a former security guard who died when he fell into the mall's turbine engine. They also explore Regent Arcade, the mall next door and learn that a little boy named Sydney Kennedy Bryon was murdered when his psychic mother smothered him to death here in 1902. (en)
  • The team investigates Old Geelong Gaol, where even though four executions took place here, there were over 500 confirmed deaths caused by all the inmate attacks using their homemade shivs. The prison is also said to be home to the ghost of a violent former prisoner named Percy Rammage, a giant of a man in life, he appears in his cell as a seven-foot-tall shadow figure in death.
