For some months now, my wife Karen and I have been working on a project for the City of Port Adelaide Enfield Council, a spooky ghost tour. The aim is get people back to the Port, hear some spooky stories, and learn some of the history of this amazing South Australian historical location.
Port Adelaide has a long and
storied history, rich with intrigue, mystery and ghost stories.
Allen is the star of Syfy’s hit TV show, Haunting: Australia. He has
been investigating the paranormal for over ten years right across
Australia and is known for his unique and historically
factual approach
to ghost hunting.
The guide includes a detailed history of 13
different haunted locations across the Port and their ghosts, including
the Civic Precinct, local pubs, Lipson Street, the Lighthouse and more.
Allen has also created three short videos on key haunted locations in
the Port which we will be sharing in the coming days. Today, learn all
about the opera singing ghost in the old police cells which is now the
Visitor Information Centre.
Why not head along to the haunted
Visitor Information Centre during opening hours to pick up your free map
and guide book, then go for a walk to investigate the ghosts of the
Port for yourself! View the map here

So if you're into Spooky Things, the paranormal or just like to take a walk with a difference, this is the tour for you - and best of all, it's free!
Just head on down to Port Adelaide during business hours and pick up a "ghosts of the Port Walking Tour booklet from the Port Adelaide Visitor Information Centre and go for a spooky walk about the Port, read about a Guardian Angel, A ghostly Madame, spirits of children...and learn what "crimping: is!!
