Case 181: Fremantle Arts Centre - Art by Day and History Scraping at the Walls by Night

Welcome back to the True Hauntings Podcast — where the shadows speak, the walls remember, and the spirits never rest.

In this episode we take you deep into the dark heart of one of Western Australia’s most haunted and historic buildings — the Fremantle Arts Centre. But before it was a hub of creativity and culture… it was something far more sinister.

Originally built in the 1860s as the Fremantle Lunatic Asylum, this imposing Gothic limestone structure holds a past soaked in sorrow, tragedy, and — many say — the paranormal. Over the decades, it has served as a mental hospital, a women's home, a naval base, and now an arts venue.

But some believe the spirits of those who suffered here never left…

Visitors and staff alike have reported disembodied screams, phantom footsteps echoing through empty halls, and sudden icy chills even on the hottest summer days. One of the most frequently seen apparitions is that of a woman in white, believed to be a former patient who died in anguish. Others claim to have seen the figure of a sad-eyed man staring from the upper windows — long after the building should be empty.

So what secrets are still locked behind those towering stone walls? Is it residual energy from a tortured past... or are the ghosts of the Fremantle Arts Centre still trying to make their presence known?

Let's explore the evidence, the eyewitness accounts, and the haunted history of this chilling location.

Is the Fremantle Arts Centre truly haunted — or is it just the building’s dark legacy playing tricks on our minds?

Stay with us… if you dare.
