Monte Cristo Homestead - The Little House of Horrors
April 10, 2025 - At first sight, the story about this house is one of success, good fortune and happy people. But looks can be deceiving. Behind closed doors, things happened that could not bear the daylight. No wonder that the Monte Cristo Homestead has the reputation to be Australia’s most haunted house.

Monte Cristo Homestead in Junee, New South Wales, Australia | Into Horror History | J.A. Hernandez
Christopher Crawley is rumored to have had sexual relations with several Monte Cristo Homestead staff members—including two maids that became pregnant. One of them committed suicide by jumping from a balcony. She hit the stairs and was instantly killed. Her ghost haunts the veranda, and the bleach stain from removing her blood from the steps is still clearly visible.

r/Paranormal on Reddit: Multiple ghost experiences at Monte Cristo Homestead Junee, NSW
October 28, 2014 -

I was recently a skeptic about the whole paranormal, that was until I visited Monte Cristo Homestead (New South Wales, Australia) in July this year; supposedly Australia's most haunted house. This was for my birthday as I wanted the adrenaline rush and I stupidly booked to stay overnight (mind you I only got around 3 hours sleep). We arrived at the house at about 3 and we were the first there, so we were told to wander around and get settled in for the next hour or so. This is where it got creepy. Standing at the front of the Homestead, to the left there is the gift shop (nowhere as old as the house). After taking a few pics of the mansion, I wandered over to the left of the verandah and took a pic of the gift shop (when we arrived the tour guide said to take pics of windows because "thats where they like to show up"; I didn't believe this but did it anyway). So, I zoomed into the gift shops window and just as my finger touched the camera button a little girls head popped up in the window; this gave me a mini heart attack. I jokingly told my dad that I thought she was a ghost for a second, but later found out from the tour guides that her name is Molly (one of the previous young maids) who died around 100 years ago. She haunts the property among with many other ghosts. And that was before even scarier stuff started happening later in the night and especially staying overnight. Just wanted to share, any thoughts?

Having said that the building itself is quite beautiful as is some of the furniture inside. The homestead is promoted as the most haunted house in Australia, this should be enough to encourage people to visit.
