Events Description
By lantern light, weave your wicked way to Carleton County Jail, a site of reputed haunting that now functions as a hostel. Your guide tells eerie and entertaining tales of levitating coins, faceless ghosts, and the gruesome assassination of Thomas D’Arcy McGee as you visit the jail’s spookiest spots. Visit death row and the site of the last gallows to operate in Canada, and listen to the tale of a custodian who saw a former inmate walk through his bedroom wall. Your tour concludes outside of the jail.
