Some places were never meant to feel peaceful — especially when thousands suffered, struggled, and took their final breath within their walls.
Perched above Sydney Harbour, the North Head Quarantine Station was Australia’s frontline defense against deadly outbreaks — from smallpox to Spanish influenza to the bubonic plague. Ships arrived carrying the sick and the dying, and those who stepped ashore were stripped, scrubbed, isolated… and sometimes never seen again.

The surviving buildings still echo with the fear, desperation, and heartbreak of those who endured long, lonely months hoping for recovery — or bracing for the end. Countless visitors report shadows in the halls, phantom footsteps on the boardwalks, and an oppressive heaviness that settles over the old shower block.

On this week’s True Hauntings, Anne and Renata enter Q Station Manly to uncover the spirits, stories, and residues of trauma that linger long after the final quarantine ended. Who — or what — still walks the grounds where so many fought for their last breath?
