Dreamworld, the largest theme park in Australia, located in Coomera on the Gold Coast of Queensland, contains within its grounds a building with a haunting reputation that predates the theme park by over a century. The old homestead on the property dates to the 19th century and served as a farmhouse long before the surrounding land was developed for entertainment. Staff and visitors have reported a range of paranormal phenomena centered on the homestead, including EVP (electronic voice phenomena) recordings captured during after-hours investigations, objects moving in the building overnight, and the apparition of a woman in period clothing seen in the windows. The building's history includes stories of deaths on the property during its farming era, and some believe the spirits of former residents have not adjusted to the transformation of their pastoral home into one of Australia's busiest tourist attractions. The tragedy of the 2016 Thunder River Rapids ride accident, which killed four visitors, added a sombre dimension to the park's atmosphere. Some staff members have reported increased paranormal activity since the 2016 tragedy, though the park does not officially comment on supernatural claims. The contrast between the joyful atmosphere of a theme park and the eerie quality of the old homestead creates a uniquely unsettling experience.
