Hockey Hall of Fame
Where our tour begins and our first ghost story of the evening.
Lake Ontario
See how far inland Lake Ontario's waters used to reach in the early days of the city.
St. Lawrence Market
The St. Lawrence Market is one of the longest-running markets in North America, popular with both locals and tourists. But when stepping through the doors of the Market, it’s difficult to imagine that the area has seen many darker days over the years.
The Cathedral Church Of St. James
The cathedral, with construction beginning in 1850 and opening for services on June 19, 1853, was one of the largest buildings in the city at that time. It was designed by Frederick William Cumberland and is a prime example of Gothic Revival architecture....is it haunted?
Mackenzie House
Our final story of the evening features one of Toronto's most well-known haunted buildings.

Ghost stories brought to life
Alicia, our tour guide, put in a lot of effort and told many ghost stories from Toronto about the respective places we visited. The evening tour lasts approx. 75 minutes and is easy to manage. The distances are not that far and everything is level. There were 9 people in the group besides the guide.
