The Ghost of the Old Treasury Building, Melbourne

Record summary

Melbourne’s Old Treasury Building has a reputation for footsteps, presences, and possible apparitions connected with its nineteenth-century government offices and underground spaces. A mid-century report would allow comparison of bureaucratic workplaces with theatres, gaols, and hospitals as settings for ghost narratives. The building and its archival documentation are certain, but the model does not securely recall one named 1947–1969 incident. Search period newspapers, public-service reminiscences, and building histories for attributable accounts, and distinguish ordinary security reports or architectural noises from explicitly apparition-based testimony.
