The story
Ballarat ghost-tour guides say executed prisoners were buried in the gaol courtyard, standing upright and facing east so they would never see the sunset. When officials later tried to move the remains to the cemetery, only some were found, and the rest are said to lie restless under the courtyard bricks.
