An Australian tour company has cancelled guided tours following in the footsteps of a notorious serial killer after a public outcry.
Goulburn Ghost Tours last week confirmed they were scrapping the Belanglo Forest ghost tours where Ivan Milat buried the bodies of seven backpackers in the 1990s.
The company had described the night time tour costing $150 as an ‘extreme terror tour’ and promoting it with words like "come with us to Belanglo where Ivan Milat buried the bodies of his victims. Once you enter Belanglo State Forest you may never come out".
The New South Wales government and victim support groups had strongly criticized the tours, calling them ‘horrendous’ and ‘distasteful.’
Goulburn Ghost Tours’ website and Facebook page has been taken down, and the company admitted it had received hate mail and had misjudged public sentiment.
