A new, expanded edition detailing Niagara-on-the-Lake’s ghostly inhabitants.
Long-dead British soldiers, grieving lovers, an undead priest — Niagara-on-the-Lake’s long and colourful history is kept “alive” by ghosts of its past. Some have called it Canada’s most haunted town, and with so much of its built heritage preserved, the community provides the perfect “haunts” for age-old spirits.
Through historical investigation and engrossing storytelling, the authors have detailed nearly two dozen ghosts. A timeless tavern is home to the spirit of a British officer slain in its basement, a gentlemanly ghost except when he encounters Americans; a woman comes face-to-face with a hero from the past while working at one of the nation’s most cherished historic landmarks; in Queenston Heights, visitors are stalked by phantom soldiers.
Historical research embedded in every tale paints a vivid portrait of the past, and numerous eyewitness accounts draw the reader into these atmospheric, uncanny, and eerie stories.
