Adelaide Gaol, Cheltenham Cemetery, SA Paranormal Meet-ups

Wow! We were busy this weekend!

A trip to Gawler in the afternoon, then home to Kapunda, then into Adelaide for a ghost tour of The Old Adelaide Gaol with another local Paranormal Investigation team - The Adelaide Spirit Chasers.

Our tour was conducted by ex-co-founder of Paranormal Field Investigators, Mr Jeff Fausch, who is both informative and entertaining, This is the 2nd time Allen has been through the Gaol with Jeff, but the first time for Karen. Both of us really enjoyed it, and we both recommend asking for Jeff as your tour guide if possible when touring with The Adelaide Gaol Preservation Society.

On our way back to the Kapunda we made a quick detour to Cheltenham Cemetery to see how the Fireman statue was looking, The cemetery is currently being upgraded by the local council and appears to be in excellent condition!

 Sunday we were even busier, attending the Patrons Club event at The Clare Castle Hotel Kapunda!  We filmed Arvi Peterson's blues and ballads performance for a project we are currently working on, the footage came out really well and is being edited tonight (I am taking a break to write this!)
 Eidolon Paranormal then co-hosted the new look S.A. Paranormal Meet-up in the beer garden of The Clare Castle Hotel. We had a strong attendance of local teams, with our new co-hosts, Adelaide Spirit Chasers. Also attending were  Shadow Riders Paranormal Investigations, Mid North Paranormal, as well as some new guests and returning guests from our old meet-ups. We had a great discussion about all things paranormal and some spiritual topics, including aspects of crystals and protection. We also filmed a short piece for Naked Zombie Paranormal Radio which Allen quickly put together last night and posted on Brad Scott's Facebook wall - you can find the video on our Youtube channel.

 All in all, we had a fantastic busy weekend and really enjoyed ourselves, sharing ideas and information with other teams and other people.

Steamtown Heritage Rail Centre Paranormal Investigation

Steamtown Heritage Rail Centre Paranormal Investigation

For this post, I thought I might go back a few months and post some info about one of our recent paranormal investigations.
 In July this year (2011), we teamed up with Peterborough paranormal investigation group, Mid North Paranormal to conduct an investigation at a local heritage rail museum, Steamtown.

 Karen and I arrived late in the day and joined Mid-north Team leader "Tizzy" for an inspection of the site. We needed to see what possible dangers and obstacles there might be and to get an idea of the layout of the site to design our plan to investigate.
 What a magnificent place Steamtown ended up being! Steam locomotives, diesel loco's, carriages, it was a trainspotter dream place!
 We worked out where we would set up our base camp, we then returned to Tizzy's house for a quick briefing, before returning to the site. Steamtown has a light and sound show, which includes a feature film about the history of the town, the trains and townsfolk, we were invited to watch, and did so, taking notes for our EVP sessions and for when we return for future investigations...
 During the movie, it started raining, which soon turned became a downpour! We feared we might lose our investigation, and having driven two hours, it would be a costly loss! However, our guides, Len and Tanya, two of Steamtown's volunteers allowed us to investigate inside the train carriages, something we didn't expect - and our investigation was saved!
  We had a number of other problems with equipment though, throughout the night, our night vision failed, which left us in the dark with video, but we persevered, and believe we collected some good footage of the location.
 We had a number of "incidents" during our investigation with a shadowy figure seen walking along platform 13, which was not one of the team or volunteers. Unexplained footsteps were heard walking through another section of the complex, with no visible source. We also hear whistling from an unknown source and witnessed lights that we can not account for. Steamtown was heavy with orbs, but this is explainable due to excessive dust and air currents. While we gathered a lot of data, we concluded that we did not gather any solid evidence of paranormal activity (other than personal experiences)  that could be presented to the client.  We will, however, be returning to try again at some point in the future.

Kapunda Kandy Mine Paranormal Investigation

Kapunda Kandy Mine Paranormal Investigation

                       
 Eidolon Paranormal investigated the Kapunda Kandy Mine last Saturday (13 August 2011). The Kapunda Kandy Mine is a little lolly shop situated in the main street of Kapunda. The current owners have experienced what they believe to be numerous paranormal related events.

 Recently when Karen visited the store to buy some New Zealand mint leaves, Tracey, the shop owner struck up a conversation about recent paranormal phenomena. From that conversation, Karen and Tracey planned out a paranormal investigation of the store.

  The shop was originally built as a butchers shop by Nathaniel Hawke and Joseph Tuckfield. It changed ownership to Mr A.G. Nation, who in his time added the second level of the building.
 Mr Nation sold the shop to Mr H Cunningham, who was also a butcher. Later the house was lived in by Mr Schrapel, who was in local government. Mr Davidson, the District Clerk, and later Mr Master, who turned the butcher's shop into a bakery!
In more recent times it has been A.J. Salmon Computers, Leading Edge Computers, an Antique store and now a lolly shop!

We also visited one of our favourite locations, Dead Man's Billabong, a secret place near Kapunda that is known to be haunted. It was here we were treated to an evening show by Mother Nature as bats flew in the twilight sky dining on insects!

Stay tuned to our youtube channel, Eidolon Productions, our video/music/book publishing arm will be releasing some content soon as a thank you for our location providers.
We personally believe that anything we can do to promote our community is a positive thing!
