Is this the same as an HSPQ paranormal investigation?

History before
the haunting.
Queen Victoria Market’s official history records that much of the land was Melbourne’s first official cemetery between 1837 and 1854.
An estimated 10,000 early settlers were buried there, including within a specific Aboriginal burial area recognised as an Aboriginal historic place. This history must be approached with accuracy and respect.
Why this place matters
- The largest intact nineteenth-century market in Australia
