🎄 The Ghosts of Christmas Past Are Calling! 🎄Emerging from The Haunted Walk’s archive for the first time since 2019, this beloved dark holiday tradition returns. Step into the shadows of the festive season, where lantern light flickers, snow falls softly, and stories linger in the long nights. From chilling winter folklore to ghostly yuletide legends, you’ll discover a darker thread woven through the season’s cheer. The majority of the tour unfolds inside the dimly lit Bytown Museum, one of Ottawa’s oldest and most haunted buildings. Once inside, you’ll learn why some Haunted Walk tour guides are too scared to give tours of the museum—even at Christmas time. Warm lights. Spooky seasonal chills. A night of festive fright you won’t soon forget.

Join us for a once-in-a-lifetime paranormal adventure as we explore Toronto’s famously haunted theatre & National Historic Site – The Elgin & Winter Garden Theatres. Small groups (12 guests or fewer) will have exclusive access to investigate the empty theatres & ornate lobbies – in the dark! Stand in the exact locations that have made the theatre a paranormal hotspot as we share the building’s chilling ghost stories and history. Throughout the evening, we will also trace humanity’s attempts to contact the other side from ancient times up to today. As we experiment with different communication methods – will any of the theatre’s ghosts answer back? Each group will have a unique and unpredictable experience while investigating the building. This unforgettably eerie evening at the only operational (and haunted!) double-decker theatre in the world will delight ghost story enthusiasts, paranormal investigators, avid theatregoers, urban explorers, or anyone with a curiosity about the unknown. All participants must be 16+.

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.
