I'm here at the Old Melbourne Jail and I'm going ghost hunting.
00:03
From 1845 until it closed in 1924, the Old Melbourne Jail has held some of the country's
00:11
most dangerous criminals. 133 people were hanged in the jail including
00:16
Australia's most infamous bushranger, Ned Kelly.
00:19
So a lot of the gnarly weapons, the cat-o-nine tails, used to lash prisoners in the back again
00:28
and again. Apparently it took a good lasher, 10 lashes to get through the skin and through the
00:34
muscle and hit ribs. And then they'd take them to the hospital until the wounds would
00:41
solve, until they were ready to take the rest of their punishment.
00:44
The former jail is now living a new life as a museum on Russell Street in Melbourne, Victoria.
00:53
We're going into what is meant to be the most haunted room here. It's meant to
00:59
welcome you, you know, to the bushman house.
01:04
It feels pretty normal to me. Yeah, what about you? Do you feel pushed out?
01:12
Not really.
01:21
Some common signs of ghosts is a sudden drop in temperature.
01:26
But it actually feels pretty toasty in here to be honest with you. Some rooms that we've been
01:32
into have been colder than others and some have been quite warm. So that could be a ghost.
01:45
The other maybe key giveaway of this ghost is technological legends. But
01:52
all my technology's been working fine.
