Haunted Buildings in Adelaide
 | ||
| Slide from the world first "Haunted Buildings in Adelaide" paranormal history residency |
My regular readers
would know, that for the past few months of 2016 (February through to May) I
have been engaged by the Adelaide City Council Libraries to be their ‘Historian
in Residence’ for the “Haunted Buildings in Adelaide” project.
The project, which involved the public bringing in their own ghost stories, photos and experiences was incredibly successful and gained a hug amount of media attention for the library and its projects, including coverage on Channel 7’s ‘Today Tonight’, 2 radio interviews on ABC 89.1, radio interviews with Alan Hickey on 5AA, the Y Report on Coast FM, The front page of the City Messenger, as well as newspaper coverage in The Advertiser, The Australian and their respective websites.

Very soon the research
side of the project will surface online on the Adelaide City Council Website,
the research will include a brief history (some a little briefer than others)
of the building, including the architect, opening date, trivia and other facts,
and associated ghosts stories and urban legends.Some of the places in the project you may have never heard of before, and some are old stories, with new sightings, there is even a couple of Audio and Video oral histories thrown into the mix.
Even though my
residency in the library has ended, the project has not. This project will be
ongoing for as long as there is interest in Adelaide’s ‘alternative’ history.
So if you have a ghost story from anywhere in the Adelaide City Council region
and you would it like shared, please feel free to email me at eidolon@live.com.au and I’ll have it
added to the collection.
As soon as the
collection is live, I will be sharing it via my social media and website via
the following pages:
