Paranormal Field Investigators

We are a small group of dedicated researchers, who look into all subjects related to the paranormal and in particular ghosts and hauntings of Adelaide and throughout South Australia. Many of the places that we have had the pleasure to research over the years, have included The Old Adelaide Gaol, St Cecelia’s, Studio 9, St Johns – Kapunda, Gladstone Gaol and even Slater Mill in the USA to name but a few. Some of these investigations will be discussed on this site. However, please note that we do have many more paranormal investigations that are very confidential and must remain so to protect these sites and their occupants from harassment or potential vandalism.

The aim of Paranormal Field Investigators is not only to look into what could be paranormal in nature, but also to look at what can be easily mistaken for a ghost or a haunting. We aim to provide an honest and balanced view of both on this website.

If you would like any paranormal situation investigated or if you simply just want to talk to somebody about it, then please do not hesitate to contact us. We have started up a database on possible ghosts stories and hauntings in Adelaide and throughout South Australia based on reports and investigations. So if you know of a haunted area, again please contact us so we can add this to the database.

PLEASE NOTE: Our investigations are confidential and free of charge. Unless you wish your name or property to become public knowledge, we believe it is our responsibility to keep these confidential and therefore protected.

Please feel free to contact us either through the Contact button, or through Alison:

TEL: 04077 15866. (Mobiles are expensive so if you just want to leave a text message Alison will get back to you as soon as she can.)

Why not join us on our community page and discuss your ghost stories and ghostly experiences not only here in Adelaide, South Australia but also worldwide. So... if you are an Adelaide 'Ghost Hunter', you share your life with a ghost, or you ARE an Adelaide Ghost... please swing by our forum and join in the fun and discussions there.

However, don't be mistaken into thinking all we do is talk about ghost stories. We also encourage and have many paranormal investigation groups both here in Adelaide and from other areas of the world that enjoy discussing their theories, techniques and equipment on this page too. People range from Skeptics to true believers and all discuss in a safe environment.

The only thing we ask apart from respecting each others views, is that possible haunted locations are kept private unless they are well known and protected.

So come and discuss your ghost stories and experiences both in the home and the field at Paranormal Adelaide.

PAREIDOLIA, PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE PARANORMAL

Face staring in through window at the Old Adelaide Gaol

"Wow - Great catch Alison!! I bet you are going to put THAT one up in the P.F.I. photographic evidence gallery!!"

Well actually.... no... no I am not, and why is that, I hear you ask? After all, it is a lovely clear example of a face caught in the window. Well it is because of a condition called Pareidolia, and oh yes... how this is a great example of it....... more

HOW TO DEBUNK YOUR OWN FOOTAGE

We all know what it is like. You are trawling through hours and hours of footage of that corridor or wall, trying desperately to stay awake and alert, because you know it will be the moment that your eyes droop that something will no doubt tap dance quickly across your screen. You are having a déjà vu, as you seem to remember having done this many times before without success, which is in fact the true reality of the life of a Paranormal Investigator. Suddenly, there it is!!!!…. the Holy Grail of your hours of hard work!!!…. more

UFO INCIDENT OVER BEACH IN SA

Everything looked distorted, small and interestingly, we could not hear the seagulls or the noise of the sea. Everything was silent. It was as if viewing the whole surroundings through cellophane paper or, even more bizarre, from another place... more

These are normally just harmless fun and nobody gets hurt by them… right? But what happens when this harmless Urban Myth takes a turn for the worse and becomes damaging both to a persons reputation and to the location that the story is staged? more

DEMONOLOGY - AN INTERVIEW WITH KEITH, SANDRA & CARL JOHNSON

For this reason I thought I would give 3 people who have been in this field for MANY years and specialise in such cases, the opportunity to explain the concepts and beliefs behind Demonology and what drew them into studying this field. Their views may differ on the origins of the subject, but they do all agree on how they believe it manifests itself... more

APPARITION OF EXECUTED PRISONER SEEN

"He was as solid as any living person but with what I would describe as a slightly fuzzy outline. I looked directly at him for three or four seconds, he then turned and walked up the pathway towards the graves in a casual manner (northern walkway). I have to say I was taken by surprise as I have never seen such a clear solid apparition and I have to admit it was a bit un-nerving, especially as it appeared to be looking directly at me"... more
