Aradale Mental Hospital

Weird Distractions

Started in Scotland, ended up in Australia. For this weeks distraction, tune in to learn the history and haunts of Aradale Mental Hospital, located in Ararat. Reports seemingly claim that former staff and patients are haunting this former hospital, along with it's sister site - the former Ararat Gaol (further known as J-Ward), making both perhaps two of the most haunted locations in the country. Need a distraction? I got you.
