WHO WE ARE
Alison Oborn – Founder/Owner of Adelaide’s Haunted Horizons Ghost Tours™
Who we are: “The spookiest, the scariest and the most ‘real’ experience you’re likely to have in South Australia!”
This is the proud claim that Alison Oborn, South Australian author, radio personality, paranormal researcher and tour operator makes about her dream and her passion, Adelaide’s Haunted Horizons™ Ghost Tours, a tour business that takes you to some of the most haunted locations in S.A.
Born into a haunted house, her life was full of questions and in 1989 she decided to find answers to those questions by researching the paranormal. Setting up her team, Paranormal Field Investigators, Alison quickly became one of the head researchers at the Adelaide Gaol which led to the writing of her book “Ghosts of the Past” which showcases 10 years of ghostly experiences there.
After years of researching and tour guiding experience, she combined her passion for history and her fascination for the paranormal and bravely set up her own business, Haunted Horizons™. H.H. quickly became the largest provider of ghost tours and dark history/crime tours in South Australia, even winning and being named ‘Top Tour Operator in S.A.’ in the State Tourism Awards 2015, and then again in 2016.
Alison also teamed up with Brad Aldridge and Liz McCaskill to co-host on their Radio FIVEaa show, the Twilight Hour. She has made many more media appearances including ABC’s ‘Conversations with Richard Fidler’ (the only paranormal investigator to be featured on this show), Stateline, Today/Tonight, Channel 9 news among many others.
Haunted Horizons™ operate in several different venues including the Adelaide Gaol, Z Ward, Old Tailem Town, and the National Railway Museum in Port Adelaide. Haunted Horizons reputation has grown and was recently made the official ghost tour operator of the Adelaide Arcade, with exclusive rights to the haunted old tearooms below.
The Adelaide Haunted Horizons guides
Our guides are carefully chosen, not only for their ability to relate experiences in an engaging manner but most of all for their sense of fun and their ability to not take themselves or the boss too seriously. After all, no ghost tour can ever promise you a ghost every time, but we can promise you an enjoyable and very spooky night with these guys.
Having plenty of experience in paranormal research, their knowledge certainly makes the night a little more special, especially on our ghost hunts. Not only have they researched the paranormal for many years, but they have a passion in sharing this knowledge with you. Their experience with paranormal research is unrivalled, especially as they are in these locations, investigating several times a week.
Our guides pride themselves in making you a part of the experience of what Haunted Horizons™ is all about.
Adelaide Haunted Horizons tours
The aim of Haunted Horizons Ghost Tours™ is to give a scary but fun night for both our guests and our tour guides.
It was decided to throw away the usual formula that ghost tours seem to adopt. No tacky effects, no overacting and no dressing up… our motto remains… ‘keep it real’. After all, we want to know it is really happening too! We have found, that our guests love and embrace this honesty in our approach.
Do you want to try ‘ghost hunting’ but can’t find a team or can’t afford the equipment? Then again, Haunted Horizons Ghost Tours™ are for you, especially our ghost hunts. We decided that ghost hunting, in some of our most haunted venues in S.A., should not just be limited to paranormal teams. Why should the public miss out? So now we have levelled the playing field and ghost hunting/paranormal investigation is available to all.
We have the equipment, we have the spooky locations, we have the experienced guides… so now you can discover for yourself, just what it is like to be out there in those haunted houses and locations, searching for ghosts!
But wait… you don’t believe in ghosts? You prefer history? Well, Haunted Horizons can be for you too! We run several dark history or Murder & Madness tours in different locations. Be sure to check them out too!
