About

You can learn a lot about a place through its ghost stories. Tales of phantoms, spirits and apparitions are connected to many of the most dramatic moments from Toronto’s past. The spectres said to lurk in the shadows of our city are tied to war, rebellion, tragedy and transformation. Whether it’s the ghost of a murdered lighthouse keeper, the prime minister who spoke to the dead, or the demon of Queen Street West, the supernatural stories told about Toronto illuminate the history of the place we call home. Join Adam Bunch, author of The Toronto Book of the Dead and The Toronto Book of Love for this spooky seated walking tour of the city!
