Ghost Tours

We love spooky fun!  As we are surrounded by amazing historical spots, it’s not hard to find a spooky fun Ghost Tour.  Some of these tours are a bit pricey and some of them can get very busy around Hallowe’en, but if you can afford to go, they tend to be historical, educational and creepy!  They will make for an interesting and eerie way to spend the evening!  Some of the following run all year or all summer as well as October.  Check out the websites for more details!

Hermitage Ruins Tour (Ancaster) Tours http://www.hauntedhamilton.com/ghostwalks/

Hubby and I went on the Haunted Hamilton Tour of Niagara-on-the-Lake and of the Hermitage Ruins.  Both tours were lead by a guide dressed in period costume and with creative characters and voices for the stories we were told along the tour.  The Niagara-on-the-Lake tour was through the streets, the Hermitage Ruins was through a conservation area (hard to navigate if you are with a cane or a walker) For the Hermitage Ruins walk we had a very convincing and wonderful guide who was so amazing in his character that we were immensely entertained! 

Hubby and I also went on the Niagara Ghost Walk of Niagara Falls, it too was lead by a guide in character, it was interesting as a lot of the history steamed from the early 1900’s where the other two tours we went on were based more around the 1800’s. 

As you will see from Haunted Hamilton’s website they have quite a few interesting tours, we have always meant to go back when they have a special event at the Scottish Free Masonry building in Hamilton as it looks like a spectacular old building and I would love to hear the creepy stories it must have.  I have also always wanted to go on the Drummond Hill Cemetery Tour in Niagara Falls but have yet to as it only runs in October it’s harder to plan! 

Dress for the weather and bring a flashlight for every member of your party!  It’s at night so it’s dark, and for every tour we went on it rained!  (Don’t be afraid of a few rain drops, adds to the ambience!)

Leave the puppies at home and young children may be scared on these walks.
