Case Overview
What happened at Ipswich General Cemetery?
Opened in 1868, Ipswich General Cemetery is one of Queensland’s oldest burial grounds, known for its mass pauper graves and ornate Victorian monuments. The most reported presence is a black-clad woman seen standing beside children’s graves before vanishing into the trees. Night walkers hear footsteps pacing gravel paths and whispers drifting from the older Anglican section, where several flood-destroyed headstones were reburied without markers. Security staff have recorded unexplained lights moving between the tombs, and EVP sessions often capture soft crying and calls for “Mama,” echoing the cemetery’s long history of child burials and epidemic deaths.
