Above the downtown of Hamilton, Ontario, is the East Mountain. Holding secrets that far predate the city’s popular history through buildings and skyscrapers.
This article explores a deep-rooted history and chilling legend of the Burkholder settlement. A site now hidden by modernism.
From the 1794 arrival of the Pennsylvania Dutch, who carved a life out of the harsh wilderness. To the eerie “Death Lights” that once served as a grim forerunner for the community.
The story of the Burkholder family and their cemetery is a fascinating mix of resilience and folklore. It is a place offering a window into the survival, tragedy, and hauntings of Hamilton’s earliest settlers.

Tour the city’s most notorious history while standing where it happened.
Perched on the shores of Lake Ontario, Rockwood Asylum in Kingston came from a Victorian vision of “moral treatment”. Where the calming view of the water was intended to heal minds.
Established in the 1860s and ironically constructed by inmates of Kingston Penitentiary. The facility was a marvel. It was a hopeful shift in Canadian mental healthcare, from treating the mentally ill as criminals to viewing them as patients deserving dignity.
However, beneath the calming beauty was a strange history. From the charismatic head “con man” to the murder of a visionary at the hands of a patient.
Rockwood’s legacy is as dark as it is groundbreaking. Now a silent shell, the asylum stands as a haunting monument to the “Friendless” now forgotten.

Perched on the edge of the Hamilton Escarpment (“Hamilton Mountain”), the Chedoke Hospital site is where local history is etched into the stone. These lands became desperate protection against Tuberculosis, a national epidemic. Evolving into a beacon of hope filled with ghostly secrets.
The name “Chedoke” carries mystery. Derived from the long creek that carves through Hamilton. While some dismiss the title as a mispronunciation of “Seven Oaks”, named for a cluster of trees once near Fennell Ave and Garth Street. A better theory suggests it is an Native term meaning “Big Healing Place”. Poignant given the site’s 1906 origins as the “Mountain Sanatorium”.
Yet, a century of life and death left behind more than just ruins. From humble beginnings in canvas tents to becoming a leading medical facility in Canada. Chedoke’s legacy is a mix of care and tragedy.

Long before the “shambling, deformed monsters” of early European folklore became cinematic icons. Like Dracula. Vlad Tepes (Vlad the Impaler) was a living nightmare for his enemies.
Born in 1431 in a region of modern-day Romania not far from Transylvania. Vlad was the Prince of Wallachia during one of the most violent eras of human history.
While his reign was short-lived, his reputation has achieved dark immortality. Lasting over 600 years.
But how much of the Count Dracula we know today is based on fact, and how much is propaganda?
