Ghost Guide Daniel began his paranormal career in 1999, investigating some of the region’s most notoriously haunted homes and businesses. Those early years were filled with eye‑opening hunts that shaped his view of the paranormal.

His work led to speaking engagements, plus the occasional appearance on Breakfast Television and CH Morning Live. He even spent a short stint organizing a couple haunted locations for the legendary Canadian ghost TV series, Creepy Canada.

By 2004, Daniel stepped away from investigation after discovering a deeper passion … personal and legend-status ghost stories.

At the same time, he began showcasing the most haunted places in Hamilton and Niagara through the Ghost Walks, bringing those stories to the public.

Leading to a dedication for traditional ghost storytelling, woven together with the darker, more fascinating local history.

Nobody can answer the question, “What is a Ghost?”  What remains? A deep interest for real experiences… today and in history.
