Why is Beechworth Asylum said to be haunted?
Beechworth Asylum, known officially as Mayday Hills Hospital, opened in 1867 in Victoria, Australia, and operated for 128 years before closing in 1995, having treated some 9,000 patients across its bluestone wards. Among the most repeated stories is that of "Tommy Kennedy," a patient with dwarfism said to still be glimpsed by ghost-tour visitors darting between buildings or heard giggling in empty corridors. Guides also point to Ward 2, a locked ward for the most disturbed patients, where visitors report sudden temperature drops and dragging footsteps. Records confirm the hospital held its own cemetery on-site, marked mostly by numbered iron pegs rather than names, since patients were often buried without headstones, a detail tour operators cite as fueling decades of reported unrest.
