Old Adelaide Gaol Ghost Crime Tour
Duration:
Operated By:
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.

The ship is stunning and the "tour" side of the night taught us just how amazing her life was! And why she deserves to live on..
Our guide Jo was amazing, so welcoming and fun. She had everyone feeling comfortable and at ease from the moment we arrived. She's full of knowledge and is so easy going and you can just tell how much she loves what she does... thanks so much Jo. We look forward to seeing you again!

Jo is so knowledgeable and it is obvious how much she loves what she does. Such a massive personality and hilarious. Definitely recommend Ghost Crime Tours and the amazing Jo!
Thanks Jo. We can’t wait for our next adventure.

Thanks for a great night. We would highly recommend this tour.


Now we just need to find out his connection to the ship. Fascinating.
Will definitely be looking at doing more of Jo’s investigations.




When we got seated into the room upstairs, the person hosting the 4 hour session stated to explain how to use the equipment to what she hardly didn’t know how to explain she keep changing on how everything worked. She then went into saying that we can use apps if we want to but shouldn’t be using our Apps for the evening.
Then she gave us the equipment and told as to go off on our own, problem was that there was people including my party that haven’t even been there we asked her just to give us a quick guide of where stuff was to what she then turned into a long story about her experiences around the place upstairs that wasn’t including the rooms in the basement to what we didn’t know about until almost half way through the night.
When we decided to go into the nursery to investigate more the host came in to give us another equipment to use, when she found out we were using an app she wasn’t happy about it telling us that it’s not good and that, ( the app we use has been used, tested and verified by more than 4 different investors from different groups over Australia and the world) the equipment she gave us she asked if we knew what it was “sprit box” i told her what it was to that she said no and then said the exact same thing that I said it was.
The whole time there me and my friend felt unsafe and uncomfortable not because of the ghost but because of the guide, the whole night felt very very off putting.
We’ve been to different places with many different groups and host but by far this was the worst experience/host








Worth doing, Laura was excellent and full of facts as a tour guide. The stories and deaths in the town topped it off and very interesting hearing of the towns past! Tour went longer than expected so we can say we got our moneys worth on the night! The North Kapunda Hotel was very interesting and we also got in the Chapel St Theatre in Kapunda!
Highly recommend!
