Verified history

History before
the haunting.

Published venue history records that the convent was built in 1903 after the Sisters of Mercy arrived in St Arnaud in 1901 at the request of Father Gerald Doyle.

The building served religious and educational purposes, including boarding accommodation. Its long corridors, rooms and changing uses form the historical setting for HSPQ’s investigation—not proof of paranormal activity.
