It is the year 1890 and the streets of Ballarat have become gripped by ghost fever. The nightly depredations of the Ballarat Ghost have turned the gaslit streets of the city into a place of fear and dread. Even in the halls of the City Council The panic has reached such a state that a bounty has been offered for thye capture of “the person playing the ghost” in the dark corners of the city. Meanwhile, a far more sinister threat lurks beneath the city from a long-forgotten crime. Will our party of brave investigators be able to put an end to the terror of the Ballarat Ghost?
