Episode 51: The hauntings of Clipper Ship "City of Adelaide" & The mysterious disappearance of The Kaz II

They Don't Stay Dead

We're back talking about the most haunted place in Australia...Port Adelaide! This time we bring you only one haunted tale instead of 503.
Alexa covers the ghosts of the Clipper Ship "City of Adelaide" and it's very interesting history full of disease and even a sinking.
Brit covers the very strange and tragic disappearance of The Kaz II crew. Des, Jim and Peter were on the trip of a lifetime, sailing The Kaz II from the Whitsundays, QLD, back home to WA when the three men mysteriously disappeared in what seemed to be a series of unfortunate events.
We would like to give our condolences to their families and are very sorry for their loss.
