VILLAGE OF GHOSTS

There is a place buried in the depths of the Maniototo district of Central Otago that has more ghosts for its size than any other place in Australasia.

Practically lost to history, St. Bathans is unique. Technically it is really just a settlement, but it is truly an enchanting place and is becoming increasingly popular with tourists from around the world. At its peak in the 1860s, there were well over 2000 residents but today, only 6 people live in this tranquil gem of a settlement.
