What makes Sir John Johnson Manor House a great place to investigate?
- For over 100 years, visitors to the site have reported seeing a ghostly woman in a blue dress on the property. Some have only heard her voice. At times, she has been seen with what appears to be a small child. Some believe that she is buried in the basement.
- The location is eerily perfect for a night of supernatural fun in the country! Located in the small village of Williamstown, Ontario on a fairly isolated piece of property, it will be dark, quiet....and really spooky!
- You will be all alone in the building during the investigation. Only one group will be allowed in at a time. Not only does this improve the integrity of the investigation - it also makes for a heart-pounding adventure.
- Part of the proceeds from every ticket sold go to the preservation and restoration of this incredible site.

Who are Phantoms of Yore?
Phantoms of Yore are the Haunted Walk’s official paranormal investigations partners. POY was founded in March 2018 by Elliot Luijkenaar (left) and Eric Oickle (right). The pair wanted to assist in the preservation of unique historical sites by facilitating public Paranormal Investigations. Over the past three years they have hosted dozens of popular events and have helped raise thousands of dollars for restorative work, renovations and other funding needs. Some of the sites include: L’Original Jail, Murney Tower, Ninette Sanatorium, Cornwall Jail, Mill of Kintail and the HI Ottawa Jail Hostel.
What happens at public investigations?
Simply put, these events allows guests to be paranormal investigators for the evening. These suspenseful, entertaining and informative experiences share the history, folklore, paranormal accounts about the site, and the theories and hypothesis behind paranormal investigations. Investigators film their own experiences and the footage is uploaded so it can be reviewed for possible paranormal captures. Live feeds are also included in most events, allowing for patrons to have instant access to the footage. Many paranormal enthusiasts and experienced investigators watch the live feed to help detect anomalies.
