Afterthoughts on the Life of Sobbing Sophia Shaw

Life of Sobbing Sophia Shaw and Isaac Brock by Richard Ong

Finding the Connection between General Isaac Brock & “Sobbing Sophia” Shaw in Niagara-on-the-Lake.

It has been said that a life that’s well lived defines a person in remembrance. But one brief, precious episode in a person’s lifetime could change the course of the river of fate.

This is how legends begin. And one such story started with the final meeting between Sophia Shaw and Major-General Sir Isaac Brock. As he rode his horse hard towards the direction of Queenston Heights. Many books and blogs had been written about their enduring romance.

At least one play was composed based on their love affair and the war that ended their relationship in tragedy.

Daniel talks about three of the most famous ghosts (real or not) in the entire world.  Including, the tragic “friendly ghost” who couldn’t find a friend.  Also, ghosts related to theatres.  Very fitting, because the second segment is about a rare nice, theatre ghost.

From “Canada’s Most Haunted Town”, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario.  In the town’s oldest theatre, The Royal George.  How this once amazing Shaw actress helps new performers from beyond the grave.

Most Cursed Family & Niagara’s Electric Ghost

Most Cursed Family and Niagara’s Electric Ghost - Ghost Guide Daniel Podcast

Feature Locations: St. Louis & Niagara-on-the-Lake (Missouri, USA & Ontario, Canada) – –

If anyone tells you, “Curses aren’t real!”  Give them the first segment of this show.  What happened to the Lemp Family in the early-1900’s is insane.  Death abounds, from sickness and suicide (warning!).  Generation after generation.  Was it genes, karma, the house itself.  Nobody knows.  But Daniel has some thoughts on the matter.  This family’s story, and the house’s ghosts.

Then, in Niagara-on-the-Lake, the woman spirit of the old Victorian House reaches out in an electric way.  How it communicates with night-time visitors through electronics.  How this isn’t unheard of in paranormal investigation.  And the one experience Daniel will never forget.

Fort Mississauga History in Niagara on the Lake | A Hidden Haunt

In all of Fort Mississauga history, it never saw a shot fired.  Built in 1814 after the Americans left Niagara-on-the-Lake and Upper Canada.

Fort George was in ruins. The British rushed to building this Fort to discourage a second attack from the Americans. 

Soldiers remained on-duty here until 1840. Today, the fort is located at the back of the Niagara-on-the-Lake Golf Course.

The experience at the Blue Ghost Tunnel doesn’t stay there. Instead becomes a part of Niagara, and maybe Canadian legend.

Two reputations mixed together into one article. One side, the ghosts reaching out to excited investigators. The second, an unfortunate and real occurrence.
