Great Mothers day and Fathers Day Family Outing

Five adults went on this trip leaving from Toronto. All the stops were fun and very informative. Only one of us "felt the haunt" but we all enjoyed every aspect and turn of the day. Beautiful historical town and great scenery at every turn. Definitely check out the coffee shop at stop one and the Grille for lunch. Not as "haunted" as we thought, but definitely a fun and informative day!

Beautiful Dark History

As always these types of haunted walks are best done in October for extra creepy vibes! I have done 3 different ones and I love the concept and the history!
