"PrismTeam Haunted Tours takes a investigative approach to spectral sightings in its Haunted Tour of Adelaide. 'We started investigating the Hindmarsh Rectory in 1999, after a call from a gentlemen who used to rent the place,' says Laurie Pearce. After undertaking research, he discovered that a small girl had died in the front room when a candle got too close to a curtain."

"On Kangaroo Island off the South Australian coast, another member of the Lark family is applying his hand to liqueurs. 'I probably eat too much, and I like to drink,' says Jon Lark, co-owner of Kangaroo Island Spirits. 'I couldn’t afford to build a bar, but I could afford to set up a distillery, and that’s what I’ve done here. It’s a lot of fun.'"

So says Francis Thompson casually about the resident spirits of the Port Dock Brewery Hotel, including the much-sighted ‘lady in white’. But then, he’s known them for a long time. He beckons me down to the hotel’s cellar to see if we can spot the other ghost, a seaman from the hotel’s rough-and-tumble early days, but he’s not home today."

"Not only has the group now drunk more than enough wine – those small tastings eventually add up – but it’s a sunny day, and the combination of food, drink and the warm sunshine are inducing a feeling of deep relaxation. Add in the amazing view, and you can understand why those early settlers thought this was the place to settle down."

"What is it about Adelaide? All those churches, that clean-swept look, the history unmarred by the 'convict stain'. It all looks pretty innocent. Which is why I decide to put the city of churches to a test. Can the seven deadly sins be recreated in this historical monument to wowserism and good behaviour?"
