The Historic SDG Jail (aka the Cornwall Jail) in Cornwall, Ontario, is a site we have been asked about for years and we are thrilled to be able to offer weekends of investigations there with Phantoms of Yore. Constructed in 1833 and active until 2002, the jail served as both a minimum and maximum security facility over that time. Several executions were carried out on-site, in addition to the suicides and murders. Due to the jail’s dark history and frequent ghost stories, it has attracted the interest of ghost hunters from across North America. This 3.5-hour special event will begin with a full briefing on the haunted history of the site, the equipment to be used, and the best practices to follow when collecting and analyzing evidence. Then you will have the opportunity to venture inside the jail – in the dark – to see what you can discover. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to investigate one of the most sought-after haunted sites in Ontario. With such small groups, tickets are extremely limited. Transportation not provided.

JOIN US IN THE DARK!

Leave skepticism at the door and step into the world of the unexplained! In our ‘Alone in the Dark’ experiences, we will utilize a wide array of techniques, both ancient and modern, to attempt to communicate with the spirits that may dwell within the Billings Estate and Cumberland Village in Ottawa and the Village at Black Creek in Toronto. ‘Alone in the Dark’ is as real as it gets, where even the spirits themselves can’t predict the outcome.
