23:36Now PlayingA viral Reddit thread claims Queenstown is Australia’s ‘creepiest’ town. So we went to test it for ourselves, along with a paranormal investigator. Queenstown, Tasmania is a tiny mining town that visitors say is inexplicably eerie and ‘haunted’, with some feeling the urge to leave right away. Once the world’s richest mining town, Queenstown (population 1,800) was built on copper and gold. Now, houses here are only worth $200,000. But that’s not the full story – this is the real Queenstown.
