Monte Cristo Homestead — The Little House of Horrors
Owner Christopher Crawley’s 1920 death began a series of ghostly events
In 1884, the Monte Cristo Homestead was built in New South Wales, Australia. Its history is as eerie as it is tragic. Owner Christopher Crawley’s 1920 death began a series of ghostly events.
Elizabeth, his widow, turned reclusive, rarely leaving the haunted house. Her spirit, and others, now reportedly roam its rooms. Visitors feel a scary presence, sometimes seeing Elizabeth with a silver cross.
The homestead’s other ghosts include a maid who fell to her death and a stable boy who tragically burned. Most haunting is the tale of a chained man in the caretaker’s cottage, his spirit marked by clanking chains.
Today, Monte Cristo, steeped in sorrow and spectral sightings, stands as Australia’s most haunted house. This house, a blend of tragedy and the unexplained remains a dark jewel in the crown of Australian history.
