Cottage Country: a calm, relaxing lakeside retrest for world-weart city folk...or not. Within the forests and along the shores of Ontario's idyllic vacation playground are whispers of mystery and misfortune that emanate deep in the past. So the next time you're enjoying the peace and serenity of the landscape from your deck, watch out - there might be more lurking in the woods than just trees:
Several spirits call Inn at the Falls in Bracebridge home; most prominent is Judge William Mahaffy, who still walks about the place as if he owns it
Aboard Muskoka's last operating steamship, the RMS Segwun, is at least one ghost who refuses to disembark
The apparition of actress Marilyn Monroe may haunt chalet 15 at Yesterday's Resort on French River
In Cobalt, the Right of Way Mine is haunted by the spirits of miners who lost their lives in the quest for silver
A ghost wagon pulled by phantom horses is occasionally seen on an old logging road near Dollar's Lake, trying to complete the journey that was tragically cut short
The congregation at St. George's Anglican Church in Cooper's Falls remains faithful long after shuffling off their mortal coils
The late Reverend and Mrs. Hill still preside over their home, now part of the pioneer village at Muskoka Heritage Place
The curse that taints the Manitou Islands in Lake Nipissing stems from a tragic tale of love and cruelty>
From Woodchester Villa and the Chancery Art Gallery in Bracebridge to the Gravenhurst Wharf, and from Parry Sound to the Jocko River...there's more to Cottage Country than meets the eye.
