Experience a tour like no other as Ghost Crime Tours take you to scariest corners of Adelaide’s oldest and most actively haunted prison––The Old Adelaide Gaol!

Get to know the gaol’s most notable inmates like Elizabeth Woolcock, the only woman executed in South Australia, John Balaban who was convicted for killing Kora Kusic and a series of murders including his wife, stepson, mother-in-law and a waitress; and Glen Sabre Valance who was convicted for shooting his former employer, Richard Strang in his sleep and for raping Strang’s wife.

Travel back in time as we take you through the pantries and the exercise yards where violence was common, to the gallows and the hangman’s noose, to the prison graves and down to the trapdoors that sealed the fate of the condemned individuals.

We’ll explore the areas where on-duty night guards would refuse to watch, investigate the tales of footsteps and rattling keys. So, you better be prepared to see actual ghosts! Who knows, you might bump into Elizabeth Woolcock and John Balaban’s troubled spirits along the corridors.
