Bringing the Dead Back to Life: Guided Ghost Tour of South Brisbane Cemetery

Join historian Jack Sim on a ghost tour of the South Brisbane Cemetery in Dutton Park, bringing the dead back to life every Saturday evening.

Ghost Tours Australia is running the organised two-hour guided tour with historian Jack Sim, whose in-depth knowledge of real and spooky ghost stories should provide a historic, if not entertaining, account of the personalities buried at the South Brisbane Cemetery.

This guided tour isn’t designed to leave you with nightmares. Instead, this is another way to explore local lore and provide another perspective on the history of Brisbane.

The experience will give locals the opportunity to discover the history that’s in their backyard, visit famous burial sites, and learn unique insights about the past, as Mr Sims walks tour participants through parts of the cemetery where few dare to venture alone.

Since the late 1990s, Mr Sims has led heaps of tour groups at the South Brisbane Cemetery, especially during Halloween.

Some of his stories include tales of crime, violence, murder, execution, and suicide; thus, the tour isn’t advisable for children under 10 years old. Teenagers up to 15 years of age should have adult supervision.

The ghost tour will entail moderate walking on steep hills and uneven surfaces so wear your best flat, enclosed shoes for comfort if you’re joining.

What a great night. Perfect clear conditions although I would have loved the ambience of a rainy, misty eve. The commentator was amazing. Well rehearsed stories embellished by his natural flair for story telling he held us engrossed for the entire time. He was funny, inclusive, safety driven and so full of knowledge. I will be attending more of your tours very soon.

It was the best ghost tour I’ve been on and good experience for first time definitely coming back with friends the tour guide was amazing and funny made it worth it. I got the chills at the sewer bridge when I was left alone I felt like someone was watching me and made it so much better definitely doing more and my tour guide was funny as with his dad joke.

I have done many of these tours, and they’re all great! It’s a different way to learn about Brisbane’s history whether you’re a ghost believer or a skeptic! Some of the guides are better at story telling than others, but they are all professional and provide great entertainment telling the tales of Brisbane’s criminal (and ghostly!) history. Definitely recommend.
