I've been to Kapunda on more than one occasion and to the Pub in question. I asked to see the dining room and the cellar. Firstly, I walked into the dining room of the Sir Sidney Kidman and walked around Table 4 near the fireplace. I almost fainted. The "electricity" for want of a better word made me lightheaded and I staggered. The place is extremely haunted, the cellar is not for the faint-hearted. I am an intelligent, grounded woman but I'll tell you this, this is no beat-up. The locals know it, the town is charming and the Barossa Valley is a perfect place to visit. But don't be fooled, this place is genuinely "haunted". and that IS OK.

The video has far too much hype I'm the first to acknowledge, but there is a very real basis for production and I wish a more sympathetic less shock-value piece could be produced on the paranormal events of the town. Cheers!

A large part of the story here is about an old Catholic Church girl's reformatory school, which was run by a priest named Father Martin. The program claims that the site of the reformatory is now haunted by figures of young girls who died and were buried there, and by the spirit of Father Martin who went "insane" while there.

It mentions the "highly mysterious" number of girls who inexplicably became pregnant and a haunting number of babies that were buried in its graveyard...but it decides this all occurred because of paranormal reasons and not the more likely case of an abusive and serial rapist priest.

Apart from that, whenever the host says he sees things he can't explain, the camera is always conveniently on his face, instead of what he should be filming (if it were there). Or the camera mysteriously turned itself off just as.

The local townsfolk do have some very interesting stories to tell, but they can't make up for the bunkum production.
