 The beautiful Georgian mansion, Wendover House, was built in 1880 by John Wright McQuiggin, the first mayor of Picton. Now a block of flats, the building has a history of strange phenomena. One former resident claims to have been visited several times by the ghost of McQuiggan, who he recogised from an old photograph.  The
creepy Redbank Range Railway Tunnel has quite a notorious reputation.
Most commonly known as the Picton Tunnel, strange glowing lights
have been seen floating through and around the tunnel and it is
said to be haunted by the ghost a woman who was killed by a train
in 1916. Click here to read more about the tunnel. |
 Wollondilly Shire Hall is well known as a particularly haunted location. Although the date on the front of the building states 1915, sections date back as far as 1869 when it was the Lower Picton School. The hall is reported to be haunted by three ghosts, a bearded man wearing a hat and suit, a small mischievous boy and a little girl, who is most often heard rather than seen.  Ex-convict Oliver Whiting completed the construction of Razorback Inn in 1850. Originally established as a tannery and vineyard, it has also been used as a guesthouse, residence and restaurant over the years. Now part of the The Woolaway Woolshed, the inn is the subject of many spooky stories and the home of a very noisy ghost. |
