IGA Brompton
One of the most recent haunting cases in South Australia is that of the IGA convenience store located on Torrens Road Brompton.The store garnered international attention when video footage was shown on Australian TV of a “roll-up” bar being thrown down an aisle way at 11:30pm at night, well after the shop had closed.
The shop owner, Norm Hurst, stated that the roll-up bars are actually stored over 12 metres away in another aisle and that he cannot explain why the camera came on and captured the event.
Adelaide Paranormal Detectives were invited by Mr Hurst to investigate the location, during their investigation the team tried to recreate the actions of the bar, but were unsuccessful in doing so, they also received no other information to confirm the IGA as being haunted.

Despite the Paranormal investigation gathering no evidence of ghosts, the haunted label has stuck with the IGA and a number of theories have risen, one theory regards the death of a boxer, Mr Bora Altintas, as a possibility of being the ghost, but why he would choose to throw a child's food bar down an aisle instead of something more appropriate to a boxer, and a man of his alleged character is something we will never know, if indeed he is the IGA Ghost
On the 21st of September 1998, Bora Atlintas, a Turkish national who had emigrated to Australia was shot dead by a single bullet, in the phone booth outside the takeaway store near the IGA.

Mr Atlintas was a very well known boxer in Australia, a professional middleweight State Champion. It is alleged that Mr Atlintas had become involved in Adelaide's seedy underworld as a drug dealer and a standover man. He was facing a string of offences and time in prison for a number of drug-related crimes when he was gunned down.
Investigations continue into the location, but as of yet nothing of solid evidence has been found.

Footnote: After the global media attention this story gathered, many local teams tried to gain access to the IGA store to conduct their own paranormal investigation and steal some of the spotlight from the Adelaide Paranormal Detectives team. It has been alleged that one very prominent paranormal local paranormal investigator even threatened physical violence towards members of the APD team.
This paranormal investigator is a blight on the local scene and national scene, but somehow maintains an image of being an upstanding person. The truth always has a habit of surfacing though, and in this case, its only a matter of time until they are exposed for what they truly do behind the scenes.
