Launch of our new Website

July 21st, 2008

I am so excited to officially launch this new and improved website.  Our old site served us well, but was cobbled together using ancient technology (curse you Frontpage), some bubblegum, and a little bit of black magic.  I think this new website will be much more user-friendly and better serve our customers’ needs.  It also gives us the opportunity to generate some very cool videos and other content which will start to appear on the site.  It is amazing what you can do when you work with the right people, and we were very thrilled with what the folks at Designwiz.ca were able to put together.  If you have any comments or suggestions for our new site, please be sure to email us and let us know.

Ghosts of Ottawa: From the Files of the Haunted Walk - New Book!

July 18th, 2008

At long last we have launched our second book.  Following closely on the successful launch of our first book Ghosts of Kingston, this collection of the best of 13 years of ghost research in the nation’s capital is a must-have for anyone who enjoys our tours.  It was so exciting to not only get the opportunity to give the full story of haunted sites like the Bytown Museum and the old Normal School, but we also had the opportunity to include some places that are too far away for us to feature on the Haunted Walk.  The book has received very favourable reviews so far- many have particularly enjoyed the “Personal Accounts” which are first person accounts of some the things that have happened to our very own Ottawa tour guides.  Margo’s detailed and very funny account of her research into the famous “Gatineau Ghost Story” has been especially popular with the readers.  If you are interested in checking it out for yourself, you can pick up a copy at our gift shop in either city, or you can order through our website by clicking on the “Books” tab above.
