Port Arthur is a historic site just outside of Hobart that is bound to make even the bravest of souls nervous.
It began as a penal settlement in the 1830s, housing convicts who underwent severe punishment and hardship while on the site. Over 1,000 convicts, soldiers and free settlers are buried in Port Arthur, making it not only a historic site, but also one filled with the potential for paranormal activity.
Every night, except on Christmas, a ghost tour is held for anyone and everyone wishing to "get their spook on".
