Dare to walk where shadows linger on our Ghost Stories of South Brisbane Cemetery tour - a torchlit journey into Brisbane’s haunted folklore and eerie legends that refuse to rest. For generations, strange tales have stirred among these weathered stones. Now, we bring them to life with chilling accounts passed down by locals, grave-diggers, and curious night-time visitors. Along the way, you’ll hear about: the ghostly Spectral Flower Girl a silent soldier who never left strange lights and phantom figures dancing in the dark the infamous Lady in Black, mourning still the real stories behind the cemetery’s most persistent myths …plus a few surprises that just might raise the hairs on your neck! Led by award-winning cemetery historian Tracey Olivieri and historical archaeologist-come-paranormal researcher Liam Baker, this tour offers a respectful, spine-tingling walk through the cemetery’s ghostly lore - blending fact, folklore, and a touch of the unexplained. No theatrics. No tricks. Just real stories that haunt the South Brisbane night. All of our tours are not-for-profit, with all money raised going to our cemetery history and maintenance projects.
