Praise for this book
I am loving this book. I have recently started following Allen Tiller via his Facebook page The Haunts of Adelaide, as I am South Australian, and interested in ghosts and history. I have been trying to decide which of his books to read, when I discovered there was a Kapunda title, I immediately had to purchase. As my mum and step-dad lived in Kapunda for a period, and are buried at the Clare Road Cemetary.
A couple of years ago at my mum's funeral, our family stayed in Kapunda and we undertook a little daytime ghost tour of the local spots from various rumours and urban legends. So, I am finding it very enjoyable to read about all the sites we visited, and the actual history and the many supposed hauntings. I especially love the mention of the little schoolroom in the Kapunda Museum, as I in fact got a feeling or sense of something from this very spot.
I don't usually have any interest in paranormal investigations, but Allen is the only type of investigator that could actually appear credible to me - a debunking one. It's so refreshing to see an expert in the paranormal that has this focus on debunking, as I too will always try to find a logical explanation first. But debunking does become a little boring so what is great about Allen is that he puts in all the stories that have been told to him, as well. And to me, these stories are like GOLD.
Well done, Allen, on a fantastic book.
