FAQ & Interesting Info
Why we are different from other Tours?
A focus on masterful storytelling at a reasonable price (with no hidden fees!). First, we’ve put special attention into respecting the ghost story. Also, with a dedication to traditional styles mixed with natural (and interesting) odd history. This is our specialty since 2003.
Reviews | What people are saying…
See Google & Facebook Reviews above
Is this a Jump-Scare or Traditional Tour?
It’s a normal Traditional Ghost Tour through the woods. Featuring a trained storyteller speaking of legends, interesting history and ghost stories. This is not a scare “haunted house” tour. Note, we may have characters, but no jump scares.
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.
Are you connected to HH for Hamilton Tours?
No. There was a connection a few years back for promotion only. Ended in 2012. All Hamilton based, and other tours, originated from our same love of ghost stories starting with Downtown Hamilton in 2003.
Legend of Ancaster
The Hermitage Ruins
The ruins of an old mansion exist in the historic town of Ancaster (now part of Hamilton). For generations countless thrill-seekers have visited in search of ghosts. Home to the paranormal but also dark ritual. Maybe that’s why the land is cursed!
Cursed Nature
You don’t need to be psychic to feel it. When walking up the hill towards the ruins. A heaviness weighs down on you. Adults can push these dreadful feelings aside, say it doesn’t exist. Animals are different, possessing a sixth sense we’ve lost with evolution. On conservation land, but animals stay away from the path and ruins.
The Legend of Lover’s Lane
Maybe it begins with a legend. Known in this region simply as “Lover’s Lane”. So famous, there’s a street named after it…
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.
