My daughter and I did the Hermitage ruins tour yesterday. It was lovely, very well thought through, and organised. The guide was knowledgeable on history, and ghost stories, had a good sense of humour and was very entertaining. We would do this again for sure.

My husband and I did the bus and Dundurn Castle tour and I must say, it was pretty awesome. Tyler (I think?) the bus guide was funny, and a great storyteller. The tour is done in a comfy coach bus with washrooms if you need them. Either way, my favorite part. The Dundurn Castle tour was interesting, but not “ghostly” and it’s more self guided than anything. And lastly, Geoffrey was one of my favorite parts as well! He’s such a great storyteller. I was hesitant, but it turned out to be awesome. I’ll be doing a few other area ones now in the future!

These Ghost Walks are great. What a fantastic group of guides, Tyler in particular. The walks are interesting and entertaining, reasonably priced, and informative. I highly recommend the Hermitage walk, but downtown Hamilton was fun and the Dundas one was an exceptional adventure.

We went on the Dundas ghost tour. Our guide was knowledgeable and funny. He was a great story-teller. We had a few folks on our tour who used walking aids, and he made a point to check in on them and keep the pace steady, while making sure the tour went on as expected. I would definitely book another tour!

Why we are different from other Tours?

A focus on masterful storytelling at a reasonable price.  First, we’ve put special attention into respecting the ghost story.  It has a dedication to traditional styles mixed with natural (and interesting) odd history.  Which has been our specialty since 2003.

Why are dates and times missing when booking?

When a date or time slot is missing in the Booking… If a missing time, that tour time is sold out.  A missing date, means the entire night is sold out.

Is this a Jump-Scare or Traditional Tour?

It’s a normal Traditional Ghost Tour on the City Bus Tour & in the House. Featuring trained storytellers speaking of legends, interesting history and ghost stories. This is not a scare “haunted house”.

Ghost Story from Bus – Auchmar Mansion

Experiencing the Ghosts after Half-A-Century

Strange Days at Blake Holsey High was a TV show on YTV.  Ran from 2002 to 2006.  Why am I talking about this here? 

The Gothic “Magic School” they filmed in… was Hamilton Mountain’s Auchmar Mansion

Auchmar Mansion - Hamilton Mountain

This was the first time non-Nuns had entered the building in almost half-a-century!  Meaning, the ghosts of the old Buchanan mansion can finally be noticed.

Such as that one night the Villain (actor Lawrence Bayne) slept over. 

He had an early shoot the next morning.  Heading into the back area behind the original house.  They had converted it into a line of dressing rooms for the actors.

Closing the door, lying down on the couch and closing his eyes. 

A click!  Opening his eyes.  Half asleep he saw movement at the door.  The knob turning.

He jumped up as the door swung open.  Running into the hall ready to confront whoever was playing this horrible joke.

The hallway empty and quiet.

This and the adorably creepy resident ghost of the house.

Should I book in advance?

Yes.  We are limited on space for tours.  Advance bookings allows us to guarantee spots for you, and book in additional guides if needed.
