Haunting:Australia
USA SYFY Airing - Adelaide Arcade
Want to visit the Adelaide Arcade as seen on SYFY
TV show – “Haunting: Australia” - plan your trip to include
the only ghost tour in South Australia recommended by the majority of
the Haunting: Australia team – GHOST CRIME TOURS
The Adelaide Arcade is also the lead story in
Allen Tiller’s book “The Haunts of Adelaide – History, Mystery
and the Paranormal” which also features other allegedly haunted
locations in the City of Churches.
The Adelaide Arcade was
opened on December 12th 1885 between Grenfell and Rundle Streets in
Adelaide’s busy shopping precinct. Boasting 50 stores, with 50,000
square feet of space, Turkish Baths, electric lighting (the first in
Adelaide), lower level shops with upper level living, ventilation and
a unique parcel delivery system as well as coal gas heating.
With a stone entrance built from Kapunda marble,
the ornate building boasts glass windows imported from England, and
specially made floor tiles, designed for the Arcade.
One of Adelaide’s most popular malls, the
arcade is allegedly haunted, which led to the first ever paranormal
investigation of the Adelaide Arcade being conducted by the Haunting:
Australia team in August 2013.
A former caretaker come security guard known as
“The Beadle” Mr Francis Cluney died after an incident where he
fell into a machine that kept the electric lit - there is some
controversy that the incident was not in actual fact an accident, but
may have been a deliberate act caused by local youth her had been
causing trouble for Mr Cluney only minutes before his death (there
are clues to this possibility in newspaper articles and witness
statements, of which you can read more about in the “The Haunts of
Adelaide” – available via amazon here - )
Other deaths include that of young Sydney Bryon
Kennedy who died from asphyxiation in his mother’s upstairs
apartment in the arcade – she later died of complications from
substance abuse.
Another death, on the Rundle Mall end of the
Arcade was that of young Florence Horton who was killed by her
husband Thomas Horton. Mr Horton was eventually executed in the
Adelaide Gaol by hanging.
If you would like to learn more about the Adelaide
Arcade be sure to book a Ghost Crime Tour, and buy the book “The
Haunts of Adelaide – History, Mystery and the Paranormal” and
whilst your Adelaide head up to the Adelaide Hills and visit Cleland
wildlife park and visit my buddy Edmund the Koala!
