Are ghost tours simply entertainment, or can they play a meaningful role in preserving Australia’s historic places?

In this special bonus episode of Deathly Curious Australia, Monique explores the often-overlooked relationship between haunted tourism and heritage conservation. From former gaols and asylums to quarantine stations and historic homesteads, she examines how paranormal experiences can inspire curiosity, encourage historical engagement, and help keep important sites open for future generations.

Featuring examples including Quarantine Station, Old Parramatta Gaol, Monte Cristo Homestead, Picton and Aradale, this episode considers why ghost stories and history don’t have to compete—they can work together to ensure the past continues to be remembered.

Whether you’re fascinated by the paranormal, passionate about history, or simply curious about the places that continue to capture our imagination, this conversation offers a different perspective on why haunted tourism may be more valuable than it’s often given credit for.

In the Season 1 finale of Deathly Curious Australia, Monique reflects on the places, stories and unexplained moments that shaped What Some Places Leave Behind — and the emotional weight some places seem to carry long after the past is gone.

Berrima Courthouse is one of Australia’s most historic criminal landmarks.

In this episode of Deathly Curious Australia, Monique explores the stories that unfolded within its walls, from the infamous case of Lucretia Dunkley and Martin Beech to the dark legacy of John Lynch. But this isn’t just a journey into true crime.

It’s an exploration of the strange intersection between history, memory, and the paranormal.

Why do some places seem to stay with us long after we’ve left? Are reported experiences connected to something unexplained, or does history itself shape the way we experience a location?

Blending historical research with personal experiences investigating Berrima Courthouse, this episode examines the stories, questions, and emotions that continue to linger nearly two centuries later.

Because sometimes the most intriguing mystery isn’t what happened…

A philosophical exploration of awareness, emotional imprint, and the unseen layers that may exist alongside our own reality.

But this isn’t really a story about a haunted doll.

It’s a story about legacy, preservation, folklore, and who gets to decide the future of one of the most famous collections in paranormal history.

As plans move forward to relocate Annabelle and the Warren Museum collection to Salem, the debate has expanded far beyond the doll itself. Supporters see an opportunity to preserve and share paranormal history with a new generation, while critics question whether the move fits Salem’s identity and whether some stories belong where they began.
