Discover the spooky history of Kingston on a guided Ghost & Mystery Tour.
You will stop at several locations, including Downtown Kingston, Fort Henry Hill, The Rockwood and Kingston Penitentiary. Each place has a chilling story from Kingston’s early history.
Guides will accompany you and tell you about Kingston’s mysterious past.
Kingston is the oldest city in Ontario, so there are many horror stories for you, such as the child deaths at Bellevue House, Kingston Penitentiary, the fair maiden ghost of Cedar Island, and the graves that were robbed in Skeleton Park. Some of these scary stories are as old as 200 years.
You will also visit the infamous Rockwood Asylum for the Criminally Insane, built in 1878 and run until 2000 under several different names. This Asylum has a dark and disturbing history that will send shivers down your spine.
The tour is available until November 1. Your horror adventure will begin at the Kingston Visitor Information Centre at 6:30 p.m. Each tour is 90 minutes long.
The Ghost & Mystery tours are only for those older than 13 years.
