This is not a ghost tour. It is a guided paranormal investigation, and YOU are part of it. Over two hours, we’ll explore four heated heritage buildings: the old church, the schoolhouse, the train station, and the family home. With the village closed to the public and only a handful of guests exploring after dark, the experience feels immersive, quietly eerie, and far removed from an ordinary night out.

Along the way, our expert hosts will guide you through paranormal experiments using both ancient and modern techniques. You will listen closely. You will observe carefully. You will decide for yourself what, if anything, still lingers there.

Some guests come for the thrill. Some for the atmosphere. Some because they have always been curious about what they cannot explain. What they share is curiosity and the willingness to find out. Nothing is staged. Nothing is guaranteed. That is what makes Alone in the Dark so compelling.

NEW FOR 2026! As daylight fades, Parks Canada hands Ottawa’s Laurier House over to The Haunted Walk for the night. No staff, no visitors, no lights. Laurier House is ours.

Two prime ministers lived here. Sir Wilfrid Laurier died here. William Lyon Mackenzie King ran the country here by day. At night, he sat upstairs in the dark, listening for the people he’d lost. For more than twenty years, he tried to reach them, and told almost no one.

Cross the threshold into one of Canada’s most remarkable haunted homes and be led floor by floor through its rooms in the dark. Hear about the people who lived and died here as well as the strange events staff and guests have reported since. You won’t just hear about Mackenzie King’s attempts to reach the other side. Before the night is over, you’ll take part in some of them yourself.

Is Laurier House haunted by those who lived and died here and by decades spent reaching out to the dead? Most historic houses ask you to look. This one asks you to listen.

Sixteen spots only. Phones off at the door.
