Community History Ghost Hunt at Hurstville Museum & Gallery

Join us after dark to explore the haunting history of the Hurstville Museum & Gallery building and hunt for its ghosts with Georges River Libraries and Australian Paranormal Phenomenon Investigators (APPI).

Hurstville Museum & Gallery was built in 1929 and was home to Dr. Crackanthorpe’s surgery, the St. George Rugby Union Club’s clubhouse, and MacMahon’s Manor, a thriving dinner theatre. Do remnants of this complex history remain within the museum’s walls?

Discover the museum’s exhibitions and community history while enjoying light snacks and drinks. Afterward, you will experience interactive paranormal investigation techniques including Ganzfield sensory deprivation experiments; psychic experiences and mirror scrying; and use specialist paranormal investigation tools with the guidance of paranormal investigators.

Join us for an unforgettable evening where history and mystery intertwine. Will you encounter echoes of Hurstville’s past?
