- Adelaide – Adelaide Prison – There is a physic who went with a local radio station team to the prison, for an investigation. They took video recordings, and saw some orbs floating. The physic heard a little girl screaming, and asked if the members heard it also. One of the DJs of the radio show did. When they went back to the studio and played the tapes, they heard three levels of screaming voices, from faint to loud.
- Norwood – The old Norwood Primary School – People believe that a grounds man had once hung himself in a classroom. It’s believed that the lights at night flash on and off, and 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 believed that the body of Groundskeeper Brown was buried at the school. Brown killed himself on March 29th, 1940. On every March 29th, he appears around the whole school, and protects himself and his grounds from any moving object within a 100-meter radius.
- 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 above you. After 7PM, the lights will not turn on in the lower levels. The ghostly apparition of a maid 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. While walking past the Vinegar factory, you can hear the machines working, wheels cranking and the sounds of steam blasts, even though the factory has been locked for over 150 years. During the tours, you can go into Oscar’s retreat, which is so small it can only fit a maximum of 4-5 people who even have to duck their heads to walk in. In the Mausoleum of the Seppelt family, you can see eerie bloodstains on the walls, which are 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 dining hall, which you can hire for functions. Staff and tourists in the garden have heard rifle shots. These ghost tours are not for the faint hearted, and no tapes, projectors or computers are used at all. Also not recommended for children under ten years old. 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 felt cold spots, and being pushed by invisible forces. Others have told of feeling depressed near the gardens, and even being frightened into screaming fits.
- Kapunda – Cemetery – Kapunda is a mining town just two hours from Adelaide. It is an old mining town. A young girl haunts the local cemetery there. She was sent there to the nuns when 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.
- Meningie – Local Farms – Doors slam, floors creak, voices and music are heard and things move by themselves.
