Gatsby Mansion, known as Pendray Inn and Tea House, is a restaurant and hotel located in Laurel Point, Victoria. The area is considered a sacred burial ground for the Lekwungen Nation.

The tribe practiced sky burials, a funerary custom whereby corpses are placed high in trees to "allow the elements to clean the flesh from the bones". In 1885, immigrant Jacob Sehl cleared the land to build a furniture factory, destroying many human remains and forever cursing the location. 

The factory burned down in 1894 and witnesses reported "figures leaping and dancing in the flames". In 1908, William Pendray reconstructed a paint factory on site, only to die instantly when a metal pipe fell from the ceiling. Pendray's son Ernest passed away several years later after being trampled by a spooked horse outside the factory. 

Today the Gatsby Mansion is widely known as one of the most haunted locations in Victoria. It is rumored that "if you would like to see a ghost, there is a good chance your wish will be granted".

The Woelke-Stoffel house was built in 1894 by John Woelke, a retired restauranteur. The home was eventually purchased by citrus farmer Peter Stoffel and later served as a Red Cross building. 

Many visitors sense "eyes following you around" and believe Woelke's portrait is "as watchful today as back when he lived". The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is operated by the City of Anaheim.

Manresa Castle was constructed in 1892 and has since served as a Catholic school, an Army hospital, and a historic hotel. The castle is notable for its distinguished Victorian architecture and reputation for being haunted. 

Hotel guests report feeling "the pressure of someone sitting on the bed" while employees skeptical about ghosts are now "firm believers that there is something". Additional reports include disembodied footsteps in the attic and a black figure roaming the hallways. 

Current hotel owners have embraced the castle's haunted history and offer ghost packages for curious customers.
