Haunted Walks Inc., founded in 1995 by Glen Shackleton, offers historical
walking tours with a ghostly theme in Kingston and Ottawa. The nightly
Kingston tours capture the unique darker history of Kingston, presenting it
up close and on foot. The tours, which last approximately 90 minutes, are
conducted at a comfortable pace so that everyone can participate. The
material is not designed to frighten and is appropriate for children.
Stories about hangings at the old courthouse, the murder of Theresa
Beam, the organist’s ghost, a skeleton-filled park and other hair-raising
tales are dramatically brought to life by guides wearing black capes and
carrying lanterns. These experts on
local lore take people through
Kingston’s quiet streets, sharing long-
buried secrets and fascinating facts.
Not one story is exaggerated, and each
has been well researched. Tours are
available in English and French.
Ghosts of the Fort, a second tour,
showcases the ghosts of Fort Henry.
There’s no better way to explore
Kingston’s rich history than by going
on an after-dinner stroll by lantern light
with these knowledgeable and exciting storytellers. Reser vations are
recommended. Tickets can be purchased in the lobby of the Prince George
Hotel at 200 Ontario Street, which is where the tour begins. 613-549-6366.
