Take a Walk on the Dark Side.

Get comfortably unsettled on a journey through Perth’s supernatural past, where some secrets refuse to stay buried.

• Follow the trail of phantom sightings through the streets of old Perth.

• Discover the unsettling account of an apparition entangled with bigamy, deception and murder.

• Hear of a haunted gunman, a daring escape and the spirit he claimed would not leave him alone.

• Learn what happened when an author brought his belief in the spirit world to Perth.

• Encounter restless spirits, clairvoyants and curious claims that put the supernatural into the headlines.

• Uncover the troubling history of Perth’s baby farms.

Perth’s familiar streets hold uneasy memories of hidden bodies, strange visitors and encounters that witnesses struggled to explain. Behind the ghostly reports lie stories of deception, tragedy and a longing to reach beyond the grave.

Join us for an evening with the stories that once set the city talking, and may leave you with a few of your own questions on the walk home.

Meets at Cathedral Square (on Cathedral Ave), next to St George's Cathedral and the Ascalon art exhibit.
