As Halloween approaches, when the barrier between the world of the living and the dead is thinnest, we are more likely to experience sightings and ghostly energies.

Your professional guide is well versed in Victoria’s rich underbelly of history and hauntings, and will take you by some of the most infamous sites. They will also take extra precautions to adorn your beautiful draft horse in brasses and ribbons, which are long-believed to help ward off evil energies; plus each horse will be dressed for the spirit of Halloween, with their own costume.
