Ghost Walks
Ghost Guide Daniel – – With all the wineries and museums to visit, you may not have time. However, I wanted to make it easy to visit the most haunted places in the Niagara Falls Region. Cause they don’t get deserved attention!

Thorold’s infamous haunt, The Screaming Tunnel. A historic train tunnel never used by any train. A great hiding place, for innocent activities. Or a horrifically violent act done by a drunk, rage-filled father. But is the legend real?

For over 100 years the legendary Screaming Tunnel in Niagara has been a right-of-passage for St. Catharine’s youth.
Are they brave enough to go inside this terrifying place at night? Hold up a wooden match. Face the ghost of a murdered girl. Those who take part are accepted. Those who fail… meet social ruin.
