J Ward

Victoria · Australien · Asylum

J Ward in Ararat was built in 1859 as a gold-rush prison, but when the gold ran out its walls were taken over by the Lunacy Department and became the ward for Victoria's most dangerous criminally insane men. It operated until 1991, and three executed prisoners lie in unmarked lime graves in the yard. Visitors and guides tell of figures wandering the corridors and cells, and of a young kitchen aid in the basement kitchen said to grasp visitors' hands. In the governor's old bathroom, several describe instead an oppressive, malevolent presence that has turned both guests and ghost hunters back at the door.
