THE ORIGINAL HAUNTED WALK "The 5 most
frightening ghosts stories from across Canada" TOUR (HALLOWEEN VERSION)
This especially spooky version of our "Original Haunted Walk"
will include outdoor stops at several haunted buildings, including the Fairmont
Chateau Laurier and Friday's Roast Beef House to name a few.
The tour will also feature
a 30-minute stop inside the Bytown Museum, one of Ottawa's most haunted
buildings, where our guides will tell you some of the scariest ghost stories
from across Canada. Restless spirits are reported throughout this vast
country, and we have collected the most terrifying and spine tingling tales to
share at this most frightening time of year!
A portion of each ticket sold goes towards the preservation of
the Bytown Museum. You will get a chance to see the actual places where our staff
as well as the staff of the museum have had their own encounters with the ghost
(or ghosts) in the building. Prizes
will be drawn at the end of each tour. Expect the unexpected!
Tour Length: Approximately 90 minutes
GHOSTS AND THE GALLOWS "Are You Afraid
of the Dark" TOUR (HALLOWEEN VERSION)
This spine-chilling tour takes a completely different route from
"The Original Haunted Walk". "Ghosts and the Gallows"
recounts the murder of Thomas D'Arcy McGee, takes you on a visit inside the old
Carleton County Jail (now the Ottawa Jail Hostel), where Patrick Whelan was
hanged for the murder. You will be guided in total darkness by lantern light
through the haunted hallways of the old Jail, Death Row and the last
working Gallows in Canada. Are you afraid of the dark? Come and
discover for yourself...
A portion of each ticket sold goes towards the
preservation of the Ottawa Jail. Our special Halloween tour will include new
stories and details not heard on our regular tour, as well as treats, prizes and
other ghostly surprises! This tour is not for the faint of heart - it will be an
unforgettable evening! "Ghosts and the Gallows" is not recommended for
children under the age of 10.
Tour Length: Approximately 90 minutes
