I’ve gone a couple of these ghost walks now and they’re so much fun. You learn a lot of history as well as ghost stories. The historic buildings and ruins you get to see on the tours are so fascinating. I can’t wait to book another ghost walk!

Great experience, very well organized, great atmosphere, the guides are knowledgeable and clearly enjoy doing their job. Highly recommended.

We finally got to do the Dundurn Bus Tour! We have tried for a few years but tickets always sell out fast. Ghost guide Tyler was our host on the bus and the bus tour was awesome. It was dark and hard to see some places, but being local we had a better idea of where to find these haunted places on our own later. The stores Tyler told us and the manner in which he tells them are perfect.

Tyler took us back to Dundurn Castle for the last part of the tour. The castle staff was very informative and the castle was even better than I had imagined.

Ghost guide Geoffrey had some more stories for us the end the evening outside.

All in all it was a wonderful evening of ghost stories and history.

Nice night ghost coach bus tour of Hamilton. Interesting facts about Hamilton. Stories somewhat eerie. Visit of Dundurn castle was pleasant. For Halloween I'd make it more eerie somehow. Adding more explanations of what each room was used for possibly would be helpful . Overall a decent experience.

my husband and I had the most incredible time on our walking tour will Gill. He is a wonderful storyteller and so knowledgeable about the history and lore of each place. I 💯 recommend The Ghost Walks.

We did the Dundas ghost walk with Daniel and we loved it! Daniel managed to quick put us back in time with a short history intro and he managed to keep us there throughout whole evening. We had a great time!

We really enjoyed the October ghost tour in Hamilton!

Well organized tour, lots if interesting Hamilton history lessons, wish there had been more ghost story telling during the bus tour.
Overall it was an enjoyable experience.

Fantastic experience! My family and I have lived in Hamilton Ontario for all of our lives, and never knew half of the history as what we were told on our tour! Very thorough and "edge of your seat" experience! My family and I can't wait to explore the other locations! The bus tour was great... Dundurn Castle is absolutely gorgeous..

Stephanie Collins

Always super fun. We’ve been going for years and they always are changing up locations and stories. Wouldn’t be spooky season without them.

I really enjoy attending Haunt Walks tours. I am interested in the darker history of Ontario. I like the added touch of interviews of real experiences of people who worked in the buildings. I would also like to add the First Nations history of the land to the tours especially war of 1812.

I went with a group of friends on the Hermitage ruins tour and it was fun and spooky experience. Erin was a great storyteller and we had a lovely time speaking with her on the way back!

Ghost Guide Tyler made our walk at the Hermitage Ruins a ton of fun. Even on a rainy October evening, spirits were high.

FAQ & Interesting Info

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

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.
