Haunted Adelaide Plains: South Australia By Allen Tiller

 

If Princess Diana returned as a ghost, where would she haunt?

Why, Mallala, South Australia, of course!

At the time of her death, an unusual report from Mallala caused a stir in the media. Today, the story is largely forgotten—but it is just one of the many strange encounters documented in Haunted Adelaide Plains.

On dark, stormy nights, a phantom is said to walk along Port Wakefield Road, hitchhiking toward Adelaide. He wears a long Australian Air Force greatcoat over an RAAF uniform. A driver stops to give him a lift—and somewhere along the journey, the mysterious passenger simply vanishes. Who is this ghost, reportedly seen since the 1940s?

And is he the only phantom to haunt Port Wakefield Road?

In Haunted Adelaide Plains: South Australia, award-winning historian and paranormal investigator Allen Tiller investigates this and other ghost stories from across the region. From the ghost of a soldier in Mallala to strange apparitions reported in Alma, Balaklava, Dublin, Pinery and Two Wells, Tiller uncovers the stories, people and history behind the hauntings.

Tiller’s approach is grounded in historical research. He examines ghost stories through historical records, newspaper reports, interviews, witness statements and his own paranormal investigations, searching for the evidence behind the legends.

With a personal connection to the region, Tiller is a former volunteer at the Mallala Museum and the Adelaide Plains Historical Committee. His family were pioneers of the Adelaide Plains, and their history connects to two of the hauntings explored in this book.

Haunted Adelaide Plains: South Australia investigates the paranormal through fact-checked historical information—strengthening some stories, challenging others, and separating historical evidence from folklore and hearsay.

The ghosts may be unexplained. The history behind them is not.
