Whelan's Night - Monday, February 11th 2008

Join us on a very special version of our “Ghost and the Gallows” tour on the most notorious day in the history of the old Carleton County Jail. On February 11^th, 1869, Patrick James Whelan was executed on the gallows at the jail for the assassination of Thomas D’Arcy McGee. To this day, many believe he was an innocent man and that his restless spirit now wanders the halls of the old jail looking for the justice that has long eluded him.

After the tour, participants will be given the opportunity to join Glen Shackleton, director of Haunted Walks, in a ghost investigation of the jail. Are you brave enough to explore death row by yourself or try a Ouija board in one of the most haunted buildings in North America? This unique evening will conclude with a bone-chilling ceremonial dropping of the gallows.

Where? The tour will start at the Ottawa Jail Hostel at 75 Nicholas Street.
When? On Monday February 11th, 2007. The tour will start at 8pm.
How long? The event will be approximately two hours in length.
Cost? $14.50 for adults; $12.50 for students/seniors/members; $8.50 for children (6-12 years)

Space is very limited, reserve early to avoid disappointment. Contact us at 613-232-0344.
