Under the cover of darkness, we’ll show
you a bizarre, gruesome, terrifying, sinister, fascinating side of
Parramatta you never knew existed, in the comfort of one of our
beautiful haunted Cadillac hearses. Note there have been actual ghost
sightings on some of our recent tours.
Tour participants will be transported (vertically) around Parramatta’s
locations of dastardly deeds, mystery and intrigue in one of our three
beautiful Cadillac hearses (there is
some walking).
A unique,
two and a half hour tour visiting sites of crimes, the gallows,
hauntings and murder in Colonial Parramatta. Visit the darker side of
Parramatta's past and hear tales of:
strange and
gothic happenings
the Parramatta River murders
the man who was hanged twice
a mysterious floating coffin
haunted houses
the clockmaker found dead on time
the female factory, female orphan school, the gaol
and much more!
This tour
can be modified if necessary to cater for your groups' particular
interests, eg school students, crime fiction and other writers, etc.
Let us take you on a trip through Parramatta’s brutal and bloody past,
and your first ride in a hearse won’t be your last!
