Toronto is known for its skyscrapers and bright lights, but the Toronto History Museums contain much of the city’s rich and intriguing past. What visitors to these historic sites may not realize is that they are also some of the most haunted spots in Toronto. For the first time ever, we are bringing together storytellers from four of these sites to share their tales. Gather round the virtual campfire as we uncover the ghost stories from Colborne Lodge, Fort York, Mackenzie House, and Montgomery’s Inn.

There are few buildings with a stronger connection to the supernatural than Laurier House. Ottawa’s haunted mansion was the home of two former Prime Ministers. Sir Wilfrid Laurier lived there for over 20 years and died in the house in 1919. William Lyon Mackenzie King then made it his home until 1948. King had a deep interest in spiritualism and would routinely hold séances and table-rapping sessions in the building, attempting to speak with the dead. Is it possible that these attempts opened a doorway to the spirit realm? At the campfire, we will share ghost stories and spooky history about the building. Featuring: Brittney Bos and Jim Dean, Haunted Walks Inc. (CAN).
