What's a deep history without a good haunting?
The Collingwood Museum has organized a walking tour through some of the spooky places and stories of Collingwood's past, just in time for Halloween.
Hosted by Dean Hollin, an expert in Collingwood haunts, the walking tour will follow the paths of the local heritage conservation district, where some of the town's oldest buildings still stand.
"While on the walk, you will hear about ghostly experiences including the smell of cigar smoke and footsteps in a building that once housed the Enterprise Bulletin newspaper, apparitions in the hallways of a former doctor’s house, the tragic story of one of Ontario’s oldest unsolved murders, and other strange sightings," states a news release from the Collingwood Museum.
There will be evening guided tours on Saturday, Oct. 28 and Monday Oct. 30 at 7 p.m.
The tour will be a two-kilometre walking loop, beginning and ending at the Collingwood Museum. It will take about 1.5 hours, and the $10 tickets are limited.
The walking tour will proceed through any weather, because what's spookier than a dark and stormy night?
Tickets can be purchased online at collingwood.ca/museum or by calling museum staff at 705-445-4811, ext. 7211.
