Strange thing to say about any historic and gothic structure. Looking from outside, you’d expect this house to be teaming with ghosts. We’re not saying this!
Ghosts are hard to come by in Auchmar Mansion due to the house’s history. Here’s a break down…
Timeline
- Built in 1855, no ghosts yet
- Religious man moves in, he’s not going to talk ghosts
- Isaac’s son James takes over in 1900, no ghost talk about family
- The Young family in 1926, renting the house as a military hospital. Hospitals are sacred in the paranormal and rarely discussed
- Then the nuns in 1945, they’re not going to talk. Nuns stayed for decades
When they moved out, that’s when the real fun began.
YTV’s Strange Days at Blake Holsey High
In 2002, YTV of Canada made Auchmar a school of magic. Like Harry Potter, sort of, this enjoyable show would film at the house for 3 seasons.
Many actors and staff spent nights in Auchmar to be fresh for early shoots. Some sleeping in general areas, others in dressing rooms once located just behind the house on a path to the nun’s chapel.
The Villain is Scared
Lawrence Bayne was the actor who played Victor, the show’s villain. Maybe the little girl of Auchmar saw the way he treated the other actors. And not realizing it was fake, decided to freak him out.
Bayne with an early morning shoot, decided to sleep in his dressing room. Going inside, closing the door and lying down on the couch.
He started to dose when there was a loud metallic click. Opening his eyes, the room is empty. Confused, he’s about to close his eyes when he sees the movement.
The dressing room door was slowly swinging open to reveal on the other site… an empty hallway.
