Allen Tiller

Allen Tiller's interest in the paranormal started at a very young age, reading countless books and watching a myriad of paranormal related television shows. He was inspired by a book his Grandfather had owned about The Devils Triangle (Bermuda Triangle) which led to life long love of all things weird, spooky, macabre and paranormal.

 

Allen also has a strong interest in history and genealogy and in early 2002 was able to bring the these interests together with paranormal investigation whilst living in the State of Queensland, Australia.

In 2007 he founded Eidolon Paranormal in  South Australia, and began to look into the vast history of what is considered Australia's most haunted town, Kapunda.

Kapunda already held much interest for Allen as this is where Allen Tiller's Grandparents lived, with members in his family tree that are founding pioneers of the town.
 

In 2009 Allen Tiller founded South Australia Paranormal, and in 2010 SA Paranormal Meet-ups, both hugely successful groups, with SA Paranormal bringing together paranormal teams from across the State under one banner for investigations, and SA Paranormal Meet-ups allowing the public to interact with the teams that are involved with SA Paranormal. The popularity of both groups has been immense.

​

In 2011 just before filming a television episode of current affairs program Today Tonight, in a cemetery outside Kapunda Allen met his future wife Karen.

 Six months later Allen proposed to Karen in the very cemetery where they met.  In 2013 the two married in Kapunda in a small private ceremony at St Rose of Lima Catholic Church.

​

In 2012 Allen Tiller founded his newest paranormal project The Haunts of Adelaide: History, Mystery and the Paranormal a blog and forum that features historical accounts and documentation of hauntings in Adelaide and South Australia.

Within three months the blog had been awarded a place in The National Library of Australia, and State Library of South Australia's, PANDORA Archive, which is an archive maintained by the Australian Government of digital media that is of historical accuracy and relevance to the future of Australia. You can find the blog here: The Haunts of Adelaide.

At this time Allen's Eidolon Paranormal website (www.eidolonparanormal.com.au) and The Haunts of Adelaide blog are the only two Australian paranormal related websites contained in the Archive.

​

Allen has also appeared in local newspapers for paranormal related topics and for his work in the local community, where he volunteers in local groups. Allen has also written for international paranormal magazines (Heart Soul Spirit Magazine, Paranormal World Magazine, Paranormal Underground Magazine), as well as for other local teams blogs and websites.
 Currently he write a monthly column for MEGAscene magazine in South Australia.

​

Allen has also appeared on current affairs program Today Tonight, on television shows Psychic TV, SA Life & International television show "HAUNTING:AUSTRALIA" which has screened in the USA on the SYFY network, The UK on The Really Network, Asia on KIX & THRILL networks, Canada on "Travel & Escape", Sweden on TV4 and in Australia on Foxtel's SYFY Channel,  Channel 4ME and SBS network NITV.

 

Allen has also been an extra in the Russell Crowe film " The Water Diviner" .

​

In 2014 Allen released his first book "The Haunts of Adelaide: History, Mystery and the Paranormal", through Custombooks, which has received strong sales. (Available in Adelaide at Dymocks Rundle Mall)

​

In 2016 Allen was the world's first "Paranormal Historian in Residence" at the Adelaide City Council Libraries. This world first residency saw Allen interacting with the community looking into hauntings in Adelaide and North Adelaide, and culminated in two public speaking engagements as part of South Australia's History Week.
 Allen also received a nomination for "Emerging Historian of the Year 2016" by the History Council of South Australia for his historical work over the past few years.

Allen was also employed in 2016 by the City of Port Adelaide Enfield Council to write a self guided walking tour. The tour "Ghosts of the Port" has proved to be very popular with excellent reviews and people traveling from across the country to take the tour around Port Adelaide!

​

In 2017 Allen was invited to return to the Adelaide City Council Libraries and undertake another Historian in Residency position, this time writing a self guided walking tour for the city of Adelaide. The tour, titled "Ghosts and Ghouls Walking Tour"will take in much of the research from the previous years residency, developed into a free self guided tour of Adelaide's most haunted locations!

​

In May 2017, Allen became the "2017 South Australian Emerging Historian of the Year", as awarded by the History Council of South Australia.
