Known as the “City of Light”, Perth has very wonderful weather making it one of the best cities to hang around and explore the myriad of bars and restaurants and various cultural activities that reflect the people’s lifestyle.  What makes it a very exciting city to chill out is its easy going character that makes you feel like there’s nothing to rush anything.  Just simply hang loose...

To start with, The Fremantle Arts Center is one building that would make you wonder why is it so freakishly cold even during summertime when the temperature reaches 100F.

Previously a mental asylum, this is considered to be the most haunted location in Australia.  Based on reports, there are several poltergeist activities, cold spots and apparitions in this location.  As a matter of fact, it is known to have a lady ghost which is believed to walk a particular walkway very furious and sad because of the loss of her baby.  
Camp Quaranyup is another addition to this list of haunted locations.  This used to be a port which was later on used as a residence. Also known as The Camp, this is witness to two frequent ghost sightings.  One is a young girl who is in a 19th century nightgown. The other one is that of a young man who was electrocuted and is seen walking to and fro the camp and howling.  His body is was buried under the floorboards of a house.

Another famous haunted location is the Old Fremantle Prison which held some of the most notoriously violent convicts before.  The three sections of this location---the goal, the Roundhouse and tunnels---are believed to have ghosts and souls as residents.

Rounding up the list is The Bakery in Nannup.  This was built in the early 1900s but it was eventually abandoned in the 1930s.  Residents nearby claim to hear voices of people believed to be ordering jam tarts and bread rolls.  One can smell freshly baked buns and can hear the cash register moving especially when its business hours.  But the creepiest would be the arguing of a couple and banging of pots at night.
