Adelaide's most haunted places

Hey guys, this weekend a group of mates thought we'd go on a bit of a treck to some of adelaide's most haunted places.... something a lilttle different.

just wondering if anyone knows of some places, or has done something similar... we'd be willing to head out probably an hr or so out of the city / norwood to find some joints.

cheers

probably not what your looking for but there are all those creepy dock warehouses in port adelaide...? and theres a few old fucked up factories near light square...but dont actually know of any haunted buildings in adelaide, just look on the net and try and find houses that have had murders in them and shit, if your into that kinda thing....

kapunda is where you want to go mate

the crown & sceptre's haunted

nic, there's apparently some haunted house out alex's way somewhere. not exactly sure where. all i kno is it's near the top end of golden grove road near where they're building those retirement villages.

The old abattoir in old norlunga is always a fun place to hang out late at night. Havn't been in adel for a couple of years, but it should still be standing. Its been abandoned for years and smells like rotten blood with a hint of shit. Not sure if it is haunted really, but still a bloody scary place when its late.

St Kilda playground...

the tunnells undernearth Glenside Hospital

street near the Metro at Unley (comes off UNley rd where the lights are there) has a big old house on it that definitely looks haunted to me!

hey borelli the old mental hospital off greenhill rd near the parade is heaps scary. its all locked up and behind massive bars/gates.

no idea, havent been there just heard about it....

and i dont know what neforious means either?

isnt waterfull gully emant to be haunted?

nefarious means wicked or evil or villianous

and yeah I remember hearing that waterfall gully is haunted.. there was ghost tour group that took people there and a few other places. Don't know if they are still around them.

The West Tce Cemmetary is one of the few that is meant to have proven paranormal activity. eg: footage of "ghosts", recordings of "ghost like noises"

not sure that it is haunted... although a lot of messed up people were in residence there over the years and I'm sure a few of them died there.... You'd be better off looking at that old mental hospital hazza mentioned above though...

GOOGLE is your friend

South Australia - Adelaide - Adelaide prison - There is a physic said she and local radio station team went to the prison for investigation. They took tape record and saw some orbs floating. The physic heard there was a little girl screaming and asked if the members heard it, one of the DJ did. The rest remains silence, when they went back to the studio. They played the tapes and did heard 3 level screaming voices, from faint to loud.

South Australia - Adelaide - Norwood - The old Norwood primary school - people believe that once a grounds man who hung himself in a classroom. It's made out to believe that the lights at night flash on and off Fade in and out. If you were to look at the window you would see a white shadow moving side to side staring you in the eyes. It's also set to believe that the body of Grounds keeper Brown was buried at the school. Keeper Brown killed himself on March 29th 1940 and on every March 29th he appears around the whole school and protects himself and his grounds from any moving object within the 100 meter radius.

South Australia - Barossa Valley - Seppeltsfield Winery - built in the early 1800s by Oscar Benno Seppelt who is said to have turned slightly insane after spending hours confined in his private retreat located behind the trophy cellar. If you go on one of their ghost tours held in the summer months you feel as if you are being watched all the time. Walking through the barrel tunnel you can hear loud footsteps above you but there is no floor. after 7 pm the lights will not turn on in the lower levels. the ghostly apparition of a made is said to haunt the homestead and tunnels. If you walk past the distillery and other cellars you can hear screaming in the vineyards and see glowing in the top tower of the distillery. whilst walking past the Vinegar factory you can hear the machines working and wheels cranking and the sounds of steam blasts, but the factory has been locked for over 150 years. during the tours you can go into Oscars retreat which is so small it can only fit a maximum of 4-5 people who even have to bow their heads to walk in. in the Mausoleum of the Seppelt family you can see the eerie bloodstain on the walls that is still wet on the anniversary of their deaths. due to this the Mausoleum was locked and bolted shut in the late 20th century. Moans and whispering can be heard in the dinning hall, which you can hire for functions. and staff and tourists in the garden have heard rifle shots. These ghost tours are not for the faint hearted and no tapes or projectors or computers are used at all. not recommended for children under 10 year old but there are tours during the day. Walk through the gardens as you hear stories of near death experiences and listen to the screams and shots through the air. many tourists have told of cold spots and being pushed by invisible forces. others have told of feeling depressed near the gardens and even being frightened into screaming fits.

South Australia - Kapunda - Cemetery - Kapunda is a mining town just 2 hours from Adelaide. It is an old mining town. A young girl haunts the local cemetery there. She was sent there to the nuns as she was pregnant and unmarried. The local priest gave her an abortion and still to this day she haunts the local cemetery searching for her baby.

South Australia - Meningie - Local farms - doors slamming floors creaking voices music things moving.

mich, your right i dont think it is haunted but theres probably a few people who have died there. suss as place either way!

shit!!! that winery one is crazy!

some chick i know who lives in the barossa has told me heaps of stories like that

Ghost stories freak me right out! I have no idea why.

Last night the washing machine turned on all by itself. I was a little freaked out until I found the time button.

cheers for the replies guys... may try kapunda / tanunda (sp?) like ive been told....

reading some of that crap... not sure if i wanna go anymore though "chicken"

Kapunda Nic - Tanunda is a whole different place :-) Not hauntings there as far as I know! Kapunda on the other hand is supposed to be the most haunted town in Australia. Some documentary said so once! Hit up the cemetary - that's where all the action is apparently

Aces mind??

It would have to be up there or is it just actual locations??

you want some places yeah, well you have many options in and around adelaide, just google these for example: Norwood primary school, Uley Road Cemetary in Craigmore, Para Para Mansion, Kapunda Cemetary, Old Adelaide Jail, Seppeltsfield Winery, Mt Crawford (with this one, you go up into the middle of the forest on a full moon night and you'll see stuff i think they're monks but they'll start chasing you but i suggest you take a weapon of some sort coz they'll run from you and in the end it turns into great game of Chase The Monk, crazy but awesome) uh i think there's more, ill get back to u. i would give ya my number and you guys could come out with us one nite but i dunno if i can privatly mail it to u cos we're always lookin for more people to come ghost huntin with us.

My eyes. It burns.

there is some freaky place we went to.... can't remember where but we went thru happy valley to get there!
something to do with monks too

St Pauls (the same one where we used to rave) - I was told a friendly ghost always makes his presence felt there.

My old place in North Adelaide - I got woken up to someone whispering to me that my food was burning. Was really strange because there was nobody living with me at the time and it saved me from burning the house down.

the toilets in peadophile park up top of kingwilliam rd, toilets near klemzig depot, and pretty much all the ones around the city give off alot of weird vibes... often haunted by weird creatures late at night.

I'm fucking scared just reading those stories!

Is this monks one for real?

Mad monks? put the lid back on your glue

someone was partying pretty hard.

sounds like one of those stories i heard when i was 15, but about seeing jimi hendrix.

Another place I've heard a lot about in the BV is the Jacobs Creek bridge on the Barossa Valley Highway. 30 years ago a local guy crashed his car off the bridge killing himself. Rumour has it he returns to the bridge on the date he died. Their are numerous stories from people in the BV who have seen him sitting on the bridge late at night and even a number of stories of people who have actually picked him up, only to arrive in Tanunda to find nobody sitting in their car.

I can't remember his nme but he was a mate of my parents so we always used to look out for him hoping to one day meet him. They were actually at the party he was at the night he died.

By far the scariest place I've ever been, and rumoured to be the most haunted place in Australia is the Kapunda Girls Reformitory. I've heard so many stories about that place it isnt funny. Drove there once when I was 16 and had just got my license but none of us were brave enough to go up there when the time came. Have heard tales of some serious tough guys turning into crying wrecks after visiting that place. Think it may have even been demolished now but I'm sure the cemetry is still there.

Check out Cheltenham Cemetary. There's a statue of a fireman who tells idiot kids to get out late at night and its eyes apparently light up. I live near there so I want to check it out some time. But it seems a bit disrespectful to the dead to be cruising around a cemetary late at night.
